Leaving Assisi
... least Paul did. Rosanne is far more self restraintful by nature. Rosanne has just told me that she loves living more simply, living a less cluttered life. Maybe that's another impact of Assisi on us. 34 years ago I took some of Assisi back to Tasmania with me and it has never left my heart. I feel that this time the same will happen.

Checkin' out Assisi's churches
... and past. I fell in love a painting of acrylic on glass of Francis on his knees with his arms raised in worship and the birds hovering in the sky above him. So my darling wife bought it for my birthday. You can see a picture of it at http://www.cruciani.com/main.html
