I’m sick today with a cold/flu, headachy, no energy, sore throat. They’ve convinced me to stay here and feed the fire while they go to Assissi.

Apparently Assisi is impressive. I’ve missed it, still feeling rotten. Jaz took some photos. What a place to be a Catholic. I read today that Italy is the tourist capital of the world; for every two Italians, there is one visitor.
