We have spent the last few days looking for St. Francis and he has not been hard to find. So far, my favorite part has been walking Isola Maggiore. Assisi is spectacular but I was asked to leave the Basilica which I did not think was very Franciscan. (At least the guard showed us out via the Giotto frescoes and we took our time exiting. ) My so-called behavior was very good except for two incidents both of which, curiously, involved nuns and upset B. First, going in to see where St. F’s father locked him up, I barked at a sister who just got too close . When I am in my bag that is very disturbing to me; I feel very out of control. B really over reacted. Does she think nuns are some kind of endangered species who require careful handling? Sister seemed no worse for the encounter. (One photo here is the church on that site.The others are on the Isola.)The second incident was at St. Clare’s San Damiano. I didn’t go in and was fine sitting outside the convent as B and G went in individually. Then two women stared me down when I was with B and I had to tell them to back off. Again, B was a little nuts because I broke il silenzio. Mi scusi.
