Our guide Mateo was met with a day of challenges. Pouring rain, thousands of visitors to Assisi during their holiday, and tour restrictions to all the churches. He still was able to convey passionately the history of Assisi and the stories of St Francis and St Clare. No one could control the circumstances of the day but a good guide is able meet the challenges.

We stayed in a villa nearby and the entire time we were in the shadow of the basilica. It was a wonderful place, and St. Francis’s chapel is incorporated in the church. The area is magical. Hope to go back.
