Assisi Diary - Day 39 - Santa Croce and Flowers

Went to mass this morning at the Monastero di Santa Croce delle Suore Tedesche, a convent of German Capuchin Poor Clare nuns.  I've long admired the pretty, quiet walkway, Via Santa Croce, that extends along the upper part of Assisi, then down under an archway past this convent.  The church has an open section and a cloistered section. 

There's a shrine with flowers where the stairs begin winding back down to town.

After mentioning recently how there seems fewer wildflowers than usual on Subasio this spring, yesterday's trek included miles of country roads in full bloom.

Flowers everywhere.

In pretty combinations.

Ciao.
