And…not in Rome..

June 4, 2016 by Amy Welborn

…with better internet.

But I didn’t get a chance to blog last night. Hopefully tonight it will happen. Short version of yesterday:

Train from Rome to Orvieto. Orvieto holds the corporeal that is the center of the Eucharistic miracle that is the root of the Corpus Christi feast. The duomo is astonishing – and to me what makes it even more so is that as we drove east, you could still see Orvieto, of course, rising on the mesa, as I’d call it if it were in the US, and the duomo standing tall in the center – even from 30 km away.

Oh, and yes, I did get the car in Orvieto. It worked out great. Train from Termini to Orvieto – Hertz office right across the street from the train. We put our bags in the car and they let me just leave it there while we took the funicular up to the town and roamed for a few hours. Then back down, and out. Very easy.I’m glad I did that rather than finding the car in Rome, navigating my way out of Rome and then having to find parking in Orvieto.

We drove east, swung down by Lake Balsano just to take a look, then up to Sorano where we are now. The apartment is definitely funky, as you would expect from what is proabably a 14th or 15th century building, but it’s a really interesting place.

Mish-mash of photos below includes train ride to Orvieto, funicular up to Orvieto, reliquary chapel, front of duomo, St. Patrick’s well in Orvieto, various shots of Sorano. Our apartment is right below the green door, and that’s the kitchen from the steps leading to the small living/sleeping area, which is a level below the other sleeping area…more later.

The excerpts below are on possessions (specifically clothing) and justice. Mother's Day at Mass: @angelusnews published a piece I wrote about one day in my trip to #Guanajuato #Mexico #catholic #faith #travel #solotraveling #travelingsolo #inspiration Today's the feast of St. Athansius. Some thoughts below, more at the link, along with link to the study guide I wrote years ago to B16's General Audience talks on the Fathers of the Church: I'm in Dappled Things this morning: Images are from the Loyola Kids Book of Bible Stories and the Loyola Kids Book of Catholic Signs & Symbols.
