They reminded me of graves and being in a cemetery and there it is, right in the centre of town. When I dropped into the Carmine church to take some photos, the guitarist was there playing again. One weird thing, the park was locked in the middle of the day.
    P.S. the waiter tonight asked me to pray for him and the staff at the restaurant after I told him I was walking the Via Francigena. Of course, I will.
