I walked to the San Damiano church, which seemed closer than the threatened 1.5km. It is beautiful and peaceful. This is where St Clare and her sisters lived, and where St Francis received his first message and where he died.
The various guides and information offices don't give much information about this, I think they prefer you to eat gelati in the piazza commun.
I may be a little over cynical, there are many pilgrim groups here. One I saw this morning seemed to be all deaf. They were having a guided tour entirely by sign language.
The weather is a little strange, there are often rain clouds in the distance, but it hasn't rained here so far. Right now it is 5pm and very pleasant. Sunny, warm and with a soft breeze. Didn't St Francis write a prayer about something like that?
