I can hardlybelieve thatIhave been here a week. <my last post from the internet cafe near the <hotel antonelli did not make it online for some reason and i am having trouble with the keyboard here. it is late at night after a most incredible day. let me tell you that there is snow on the hills here in Assisi and it is very cold and raining tonight. <last night it snowed in la verna. we were there the day before. we froze in florence yesterday as it was very windy and the cold just went right through you. i will have to fill in this journal from rome,if they have better internet cafes or else when i get back. we leave for rome tomorrow afternoon with a couple of stops along the way. today we had lunch with the rena cavata friars way up in the mountains of the marches, then prayer, snack and some fun time with the san severino poor clares. it was raining and cold and we were afraid the road would ice over so we left there before dinner. took a while to get home as we went very slowly around the hairpin turns int he mountains.
i am very frustrated with this keyboard so will sign off fornow.
