Whoever said I'd be over my jet-lag by now was lying... Just saying.
On a positive note, we, all 235 of us, are going to Assisi tomorrow at the crack of 8 a.m. Trying to be honest here, I knew nothing about Assisi except that it was where St. Francis was from. I did just look it up (thank you wikipedia and Rick Steves!) and found a really cool church (and yes, that's not an oxymoron) that I want to visit. La basilica di Santa Chiara= the Church of St. Clare, where she was buried.
Interesting notes for the day:
**Italians apparently don't enjoy hot water. The water here is freezing! Should be good for spring though...
** St. Clare is the patron saint of television. Apparently, she was so upset that she was hospitalized at Christmas and couldn't hear St. Francis sing at mass that she began to see and hear the mass on her hospital wall.
** I learned my numbers in Italian, which means I can now talk to a 3 year old. Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle those pesky colors...

Erin,
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying your blog and emails! Keep them coming! We think of you all the time and wonder what time it is there and what you are doing. Enjoy Assisi. Let us know if we should go there.
Love you,
Mom
As your confirmation sponsor, I KNEW that St. Claire was the patron saint of television and thought it was very funny. Have a great time in Assisi.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I see the Mass on my wall too. Your blog was a wonderful idea, Erin. I love it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since my wall did anything and for that I'm grateful. Best as I can recall all it did was spin. Keep the good news coming.
ReplyDeletehey blarney! love your bloggin, you even got me to laugh out loud! I have already started going through Blarney withdrawl. I felt an empty space between Julie, Lauren, and I. Then we had recruitment meetings today and I had no one to make fun of or pick on and you werent there to laugh at my lame jokes. I miss you but I am so happy for you and know you'll have a great time! <3 Danielle
