Monday - Assisi

Our first night in Assisi we managed to visit the Piazza at the centre of the town where Daniel showed us some of the sights including this ancient Church that had been build on an Etruscan Temple - but said that we would learn more about it the next day when we were with our guide.
The visit to Assisi had many highlights and I will look forward to being able to get some photos together later of the Basilica of St Mary of the Angels where Francis began his journey, of the Basilica of St Francis where his body is buried and some of the places where both he and St Clare lived, worked and prayed during their lives.
I was fortunate to be able to celebrate Mass in one of the chapels of the Basilica of St Francis - I was joined by a Divine Word Missionary from South Africa who was traveling with some friends.
The whole of the experience was really special and highlighted why Assisi is such a place of prayer and peace - something we could all learn from.
