Ep 179: Bufnagle European Trip Report, Part 2 — A Weekend Train Trip to Assisi
Show Notes

Harry hosts Rafe's discussion of a weekend train trip to the town of Assisi, birthplace and final resting place of St. Francis of Assisi.

Rafe tells stories of train travel, the life and times of St. Francis and the circuitous route to his final resting place, the quaint and cozy town of Assisi in January, a castle on the hill above the town protecting it from invaders, and plenty of other tidbits.

Most of all, the visits to Assisi and Florence were wonderfully pleasant, mostly due to the warm, generous, and gracious people of Italy that were met along the way.
