Tuesday we toured the Church of St. Clare as well as the Eremo delle Carceri (a small hermitage at the top of Mount Subasio.
Later that day I performed a miracle - I climbed Mt. Subasio. Let me tell you, it was no piece of cake!!! Very steep climbing across a rocky grade. But arriving at the top, a place where St. Francis founded a small hermitage, was truly amazing. This is where he sought refuge for 6 months out of the year. He and other monks lived in caves carved from the mountain side. Their dwellings were simple but they enjoyed the beauty of God's spectacular creation while on the mountaintop. We then climbed even further to the very top of the mountain and enjoyed a magnificent view of the city of Assisi below.
