COLLE DON BOSCO
After breakfast we visited Colle Don Bosco, a little village in the area of Morialdo about 13 km. from the City of Turin. We celebrated Mass at the lower Church after which a Salesian Priest who was very fond of songs toured us to the area.
We visited Don Bosco’s house and that of his brother Joseph. It was the small shrine commemorating John’s dream at the age of nine, and the upper Church of the Temple of Don Bosco. Then we lunch at the Restoro de Maria Margereta (named after the mother of St .John Bosco. Way back to Turin, the ladies enjoyed shopping. Dinner was Espada Real along via Po.
A PEEP AT ASISI
After breakfast the following day we left at 7:30 am. for a trip to the town of Asisi proceeding back to Rome.
On the way we sang Happy Birthday to our driver, Claudio. Songs and jokes followed this. Outside it was chilly and foggy.
At 11:00 a.m. we stopped for our personal necessities all the while I was taking notes of the number of tunnels we were passing through. I counted 100 before we reached Resorente Rogello at 1:00 p.m. for lunch.
We reached Asisi at 1:00 p.m., visited the monumental complex of the Basilica of San Francisco. We were able to enter only the lower Church and saw the tomb of the Saint at the crypt due to time pressure.
On the way home we exchanged jokes. I counted 15 more tunnels, a total of 115. The views on both sides of the highway were simply exhilarating. We recited the Rosary in the bus then had dinner at La Tana Dei Re.
