In Rome October 27, 2020:
This morning I was wondering how to get some information on Via de Francesco to Assisi which I plan to start Thursday or Friday. Then “coincidentally” bumped into Noëlle Dav from Holland in St. Peter’s Square who just completed 3,000K from Holland to Rome via Assisi.
One more example of the Camino and another pilgrim providing exactly what you need as she has a gps routing for me.
I then went into St. Peter’s to light 12 candles for various friends and family. I was told there are no candles for security reasons. Walking out of St. Peter’s I was thinking of finding another church nearby and thought Assisi.
I’m not a big fan of St. Peter’s as it seems to be more of a monument to the Papacy then a place of prayer and reflection. Walking on to Assisi feels perfect.
