At night inside the walls of Santa Chiara there is stillness and silence, which sometimes is often interrupted by the sounds of gunfire or the sounds of wild dogs barking or men loudly arguing with each other. Up until 8:30 or so, a few of the older girls can be seen standing around and talking. But the little noise-makers, the toddlers and kids under six years of age, are asleep. I love this time of day.
