Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Perugia to Rome
My time in Perugia has come to a close. Paul's meditation group was the largest since we’ve been attending. There were around 400 folks that came together to raise the roof in easy pose (among other poses, to be sure). It is always quite the experience to meet and share conversation with folks from across the globe that have gathered with the ...
Leaving Assisi
... I want to come back here! One of the striking things about Assisi is how clean it is. People here take a pride in the way their city looks. Very few dog poos on the footpath, unlike Paris. As well as their buildings they take pride in their food. We have never come across so many restaurants and cafes and pasterias. And the cakes!

Last day in Assisi

The chef is Claudio Bellinzani, who has worked in Tuscany and in Santa Cruz in Northern California. He is not just an excellent chef, but a lovely man, who loves to chat about Assisi and food and wine. We highly recommend Osteria Pozzo. ...
