... that we’d never seen before. We also always try to make a visit to the church of St Claire. It is amazing to walk into a church that has such a strong, nurturing, warm sense of the feminine. While the church of St Francis has a very evident masculine feel to it, St Claire’s is the beautiful balance.

We sat for quite ...
Another amazing day in Assisi

The biggest change I have noticed is the amount of traffic on Assisi streets. When walking I have to be careful as cars zip down these narrow streets quite quickly.
