St. Francis slept here...


Today we explored Cetona and had a delicious lunch at the the best osteria! After a refreshing siesta and gelato Liz, Spring and Shan hiked the path below to the Santa Maria in Belverde. (Pictured at left - Shan, Spring and Janna outside the church) This site is actually three churches (the first established during the 13th century) that were built on the site where St Francis slept in the nearby travertine caves. We were guided through the churches by a young man who is a participant in a drug treatment program (Mondo X) which now occupies the grounds. Then we drove to San Casciano dei Bagni and strolled around the ancient castle and charming village.
