Another hot day today 33*c 

I think I need to get used to these temps from now on.

We travelled south to Assisi today to explore the cathedral and Saint Francis life. 

We have seen so many medieval towns and beautiful  churches. This town is in Umbria.

The Saint Francesca cathedral is painted with frescos all over the walls and low ceilings. It has marbled floors and is not dark inside like other Catholic Churches we have visited.

We explored the church and went down the steps to see his tomb. There are strict rules about silence and not taking photos but I sneaked a few on my mobile!

Above the church is a courtyard and a museum. You were allowed to take photos in there, as long as you don’t use flash.

To finish off the morning we had lunch outside a hotel. 

There was a mouse scampering about under tables and along the surrounding wall Ugh! The waiter was chasing it with a brush….

To get away from all the “holiness “ and the little mouse 🤣, 

we came back to our house through the Alpinines. A beautiful winding road with steep hairpin bends. (Vince called it a Janet road. ) 

There were no lay-bys to stop the car to take any photos of the views sorry. Perhaps we will get some tomorrow…
