The host at the farm hotel graciously offered to drive us back to Assisi with a stop at his mill where they made their olive oil. A couple of hours later we knew all the latest techniques for producing the finest oil, and he even toasted some bread in the fireplace and put it on a platter with freshly made oil to complete the tour. We ate in the kitchen as the women cleaned shellfish for dinner. Left with hugs from young Alessandro, who refused even gas money. They told us we are now family ... Keep it sensitive! Eat your heart out, Rick Steves! After the amazing morning, then back to Assisi to see the little church in a church where St. Francis spent his days. Real doves here on the statue, as we approached the garden where he threw himself on the bush of thorns. Fascinating! Especially after seeing Pope Francis. Now we embark on Florence! Today the Uffizi and the Accademia. The David! I will no doubt be crying again !
