Day 15: Spello to Assisi

My step was light, and my heart full of joy as I started the walk today (14.84 km). I dawdled in Spello until 9 a.m. and slowly made my way to Assisi in the heat. I arrived at the city limits just before midday and was greeted by the church bells from all around as I walked in - what a treat. The Cathedral and the tomb of Saint Francis are mind-boggling, but they ask that you don't take photos inside and I've respected that. I collected my testimonium right on 3 p.m. and was lucky enough to share the experience with the two Italian pilgrims whom I've seen off and on along the Way. I've made the decision not to continue onto La Verna as I don't feel up to it physically in this heat, and my body is protesting more and more every day. This pilgrimage has been very special for me, I am grateful to have made it this far, and I'm so glad that I did. I'll chill here (pardon the pun) for a few days and then decide what to do next.
