I last checked in when we were in Kraków, Poland. Our group had been split into three smaller groups and we had been left behind to catch a flight out on Friday. Things looked promising as we set out and checked in for our flight to Frankfurt, Germany. We then find out that our flight is delayed 20 minutes (no big deal) and that 4 out of the 8 in our group had standby tickets out of Frankfurt (bigger deal). Then we had to sit in the plane for 25 more minutes before we could take off - air traffic control issues and weather. We missed our connection in Frankfurt. The next flight out was at 6:30 - OK, great. Wait-what? It's going by way of Amsterdam (or as Mike Landis was calling it - Amsterdammit). We got that flight and then went from Amsterdam into Florence. Didn't get to the hotel until after midnight. Hence- no update yesterday. I handled the whole thing pretty well- was texting Fr. off and on all day to keep him updated.
Today we drove to Assisi and saw the tomb of St. Clare and St. Francis. Ed was in heaven because St. Francis is his favorite Saint. To say that the view up here is breathtaking doesn't do it justice. I could sit out on the terrace and look at the view for hours. Here are some of the pictures we took.
