You Just Can't Avoid Some Things



We departed our accommodation in Assisi and breakfasted in the square. We then walked back uphill to catch the local bus to St Maria Degli Angeli, the place where St Francis died.
With bags in tow, we still had lots of time before the 10.45 bus to Siena so took it in turns to mind the bags while the other viewed the magnificent church, conveniently located right next to the bus stop for Siena.
Before we could decide who stood sentry first, we were visited by some of our long lost friends……. the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They found us a greeting written in English and we gave them an Aussie welcome. They went on their way, the tract went in the bin, Gail stood sentry and Robert took first turn at St Maria Degli Angeli.
You just can’t avoid some things.

You totally should have made up some language that was non existent, and then you would have been ale to shake your head and say "djlksdfhlak dkjfskldfhja askdjfjsdf"! (Translation: Sorry, I don't understand)

I often pretend to be deaf and dumb to avoid the chuggers at lunchtime!
