The 1st of June. 11 days until my birthday.
Walking tour of Assisi today. I ...dislike hills quite a lot. We saw the Basilica of St. Francis and the Church of St. Clare. It was surprising to see the very large amount of money that was put into a church of St. Francis, but as our guide said, the church itself was in fact for the Pope. The bit about the Jewish population of Assisi being saved by hiding in a false floor/ceiling during World War II was also quite interesting. Will have to look that up ...and tell Stephanie too. Oh, I miss her too. I miss my life. Two weeks isn't long enough to find a new way of life. It feels like a weird form of limbo. For a year, I could do it, but two weeks is odd.
Back to today. Also discovered through the tour guide that some churches were white-washed and turned into hospitals . I wonder how many frescoes are hidden because of that?
After the tour, Nancy took some people up to La Rocca. I tried, but that failed miserably. Too many hills for me.
Time for bed now, and I have a headache.
