The beauty and peace of Umbria

A typical Umbrian scene

This is the view from where we’re staying in our friend’s Airbnb near Ananda Assisi.

In the five years since we were last in Umbria I had almost forgotten just how beautiful these hillside views are…and how it’s what you see in pretty much any direction you look.

And then there’s the quiet and sense of peace that pervades the area. Ramesha and I were speculating that perhaps it has to do with the fact that the vast majority of visitors to this area are religious/spiritual tourists — drawn to Assisi because of St Francis.

Whatever the reason, my soul loves it here.
