Kay Ulry Baker went on a pilgrimage with her church to Rome, Assisi, and Oberammergau in July. Kay writes: “We were privileged to see and hear Pope Francis conduct a special mass for a Congolese delegation in St. Peter’s Basilica. After visiting many of the traditional Roman sites, we spent several days in Assisi perched on the side of a mountain. Cobblestone streets that seemed to be almost vertical were a challenge. Then we were on to Bologna, Verona, and through the Brenner Pass (Alps), and next the quaint villages of Bavaria. Then the highlight of the trip: the Passion Play in Oberammergau, which dates back to 1634 and a promise made to God when the plague was brought to the village, is performed every ten years. On to Florida, renewing old acquaintances, then driving slowly back to New York, visiting friends and family along the way. I believe I have had enough walking and driving for another year and am looking forward to our 65th in May.”
