Gijon

Safely arrived in Gijon, Asturias.  Stopped by this lovely Church of St. Lawrence to give thanks.  I am going to take a rest day here tomorrow before starting the Walk.  

Tis time

Tis time to take a Walk.... to renew and to recharge.  This nice plane will be making the trip to Madrid....

Siena

Last day of touring included the highlights of Siena.  It was lovely celebrating Mass in St. Dominic's church.

Assisi

We had the day to visit Assisi.  We went by to visit Saints Francis, Clare and Carlo Acutis.  I can always spend more time here, but very grateful for the opportunity once again to pray here.  

Miracles

Today we went to Lanciano to see the Eucharistic miracle and then on to Loretto to see the Holy House.  

SS. Pio and Michael

A sunny cool fall day as went to visit San Giovanni Rotondo where Padre Pio lived and is buried.   Then we went to Monte San Angelo to the cave (that is now a church) where St. Michael the Archangel appeared.

Monte Cassino

We headed out from Rome for Monte Cassino.  Another gorgeous day of Italian sunshine for our visit to Sts. Benedict and Scholastica.
