Sightseeing in Spoleto...
A day strolling Spoleto in the glorious sunshine was the perfect way to spend our last hours with Massimo and Pinuccia. We even learned some things which makes it an even more special day.
While at the Duomo, we met some interesting "Heralds of the Gospel". We were enthralled with their costumes and had to know more.

Comprised mainly of young people, this Association is established in 57 countries. Its members practice celibacy, and are entirely dedicated to apostolate, living in separate houses designated for young men and young women.Their life of recollection, study and prayer alternates with evangelizing activities in dioceses and parishes, with special emphasis placed on the formation of youth.
After a late lunch in the library and a leisurely stroll home, we did a driving tour of the environs, stopping at two beautiful churches and one really fun store. It has been a wonderful visit with our amici and we will meet again in March for a weekend in The Dolomites (Italy's northern mountains). Go often to the house of thy friend,

What great luck your guests had to have you two as tour guides. They must have had a lovely trip!
I love the 'mini-mart' picture because you never know when you stop in for deodorant, you may decide you need a cured ham!

I love your pics. The mini mart is one of my favs though. Its amazing what I have learned from your blog about my heritage-family is from Florence and I know so little. So you have inspired me to travel to such a quaint place. And our relatives in Florence, Italy are delighted that I know you and have inspired me to get over there!! Thanks.
