Ok it’s now August - where are you and when will you be back??!!

Well, I am staying at a fab Franciscan Hotel (en suite, three meals and no charge) on Via Merulana which is midway between St John Lateran and Santa Maria Maggiore. It is about a ten minute walk from either the Colosseum or Rome Termini.

Here for a week, in Assisi for a week and then back home on the 17th August.

PS. Identical Rosary Beads in Rome are 5 times the price of what I could get them for in Nazareth!!!
