... in my adventures during this trip. In addition to a day trip to Assisi I also made it to Orvieto. Paul really likes the church of St Francis so it was nice to be able to make that trip with him. I’ve always felt a powerful, peaceful presence in that church and particularly so this time around. Meditating at the tomb of St Francis is a grounding experience. I can only imagine that the Buddist principle of being in the now is pretty close to what ...
Leaving Assisi
This morning we leave Assisi for Florence, with a certain sense of sadness. It has been a very precious time, of walking, eating, talking, reflecting and being. We have loved our hotel with its superb views of the city. It is ideally located, hence it's name, Ideale Hotel.

It is about 1.5 k outside the walls of old Assisi and it was here that Francis heard God's voice speak to him from ...
Another amazing day in Assisi
Today was the best day weatherwise we have had here. When we went down for breakfast we walked into the middle of a spirited theological discussion between a couple from the US and a couple from Namibia, which became even more interesting as we joined it and in the end a couple from Singapore. A vertitable United Nations. After hanging out some washing on our balcony and (finally) finding a Post Office, outside the city wall (don't quite get why they don't have one in the city piazza) ...
