And after Rome, another week away from home, this time with My parents, my uncles and a couple of their very nice friends. Purpose: to go to San Giovanni Rotondo, Padre Pio, but you know, the foot is long, so we went for a tour of Umbria, its beautiful landscape and its charming medieval villages that seem to have stopped centuries ago. Stages: Todi, Assisi (wonderful and full of spirituality), Narni, Trevi, Foligno, San Gemini (and we caught the medieval tournament, so the city was all decked out with flags of the factions!) Carsulae, Monte Sant'Angelo (the beautiful sanctuary carved into the rock!), Orvieto (Cathedral to stump the breath), Terni, waterfall Marmore (without words, wonderful to climb the stairs of wood and learn about the various lagoons and waterfalls ... too bad I have done the bathroom!), Bolsena and its lake (with ducks!) Vasto, Amelia (village perched on a mountain and almost deserted), and finally San Giovanni Rotondo (the tears came out by themselves at the mere sight of the church where he lived a life ... not to mention when I saw the body. everything .. This followed by anger over the vision of the new Renzo Piano's sanctuary ... architecturally beautiful, but absolutely contrary to everything that Padre Pio had preached in life ... would not have been better to spend these millions of Euros for the hospital to enlarge which has struggled all his life?)
Other than that .... who carusi friddu! I had to buy a jacket and yet are consumed by the cold!
