September 10

My cousin has decided to live the live of a nun, and she'll be doing missionary work in Canada for 3 years. She's leaving soon so today we came to say goodbye. We quickly got a tour through the monastery that she'd been living in for the past months, and with this we saw all the souvenirs the nuns had taken from their far-away journeys. Snake skins from Africa, carvings from India, etc.
Something that caught my eye was a large book showing an old style of notating music. According to my cousin this was how they noted music centuries ago for the Gregorian songs.
