Assisi

Today I was blessed to spend the day in Assisi. We left at 7:00 a.m. and took the train. It's difficult to explain Assisi. Yes it's beautiful, but it's much more than that. There is something almost palpable about the spirituality.

Joan, Sue and I visited three churches: The Basilica de Santa Maria degli Angeli, the Basilica de Santa Chiara and the Basilica of San Francesco. We took our time and soaked it all in. We could have gotten to more churches, but we decided to savor the ones we went to. In order to see them all we would have had to rush through.

Most of my pictures are city scenes. You can't take pictures in the churches. Which is a very good thing. The pictures really need no description. As with the city, they are best enjoyed in silence.
