... it is where the Pope visits to place flowers at the statue of the BVM in front of the Spanish Embassy.

We are getting very fit. Back in Assisi we managed to find a lovely cake shop and delicious cake and coffee. Boy did we have aching legs, but instead of setting ourselves a series of tasks each day or things to see we have been trying to wander and discover the joys of this amazing place.
