Nuns win Superbowl
It is Superbowl weekend in Phoenix, Arizona, and the sellout crowd of 125,000 fans from out of town need beds. Enter the local Benedictine convent, Our Lady of Guadelupe, raising money for some land, who have decided to offer $250 a night beds to fans, close to the stadium. No alcohol, no smoking, no pool, no TV, no phone in the rooms; but on the other hand some local Marriotts and Hampton charge double that this weekend. And maybe the posters of Mother Teresa, the friendly dog Benito, 
the nuns' tame peacock and having a room named after St Hildegard will cheer up the more heartbroken fans when their team loses. Fans of both the New England Patriots and the NY Giants are booked in, and may have to share a bathroom according to the LA Times. The nuns are sanguine. "We're looking forward to it. God wants people to have a good time".
I Wonder If They Give Points Have a Choice of King Or Queen Beds? Room Service? Valet Parking? Take American Express Visa Or Mastercard? Meals Included?...If So I'm In!!
