A simple day start with Mass and Breakfast and then we ere picked up at 8:00 for a day on the road.  We went all the way to the Adriatic sea and then turned inland to Lanciano to witness the Eucharistic Miracle. The Lanciano Miracle always gives a very clear indication of how close God wished to be with his people in the Eucharist.  That this miracle occurred somewhere between 730 and 750 and 1300 years later it is still living flesh is what is amazing. In the past it has been a very quiet even with few people.  Today we had busloads of children and another bus filled with Polish pilgrims. It was a bit noisy in the church.  The Book store manager offered to show us a short video in English which was much appreciated.

Then we headed back to the sea for Pranzo. The restaurant we wanted to go to had closed and so we researched other Restaurants.  This was a simple little place, but the food and service was outstanding. It started with a four-way seafood starter which included crab meet with pickled red onions, two different combinations with Calamari and a tuna with red peppers concoction.  Then we had whole shrimp, then Mussels with tomato, fried Calamari and we wondered when the Primi would come. The starters continued with snails in tomato sauce. Then the pasta came with shrimp and baby clams and mussels, accompanied by a torta with cheese, gnocchi with shrimp and grilled calamari.  Then came the fish, sea bass and others grilled and then we were done with coffee and desserts.

Next, we all slept in the car while we headed toward Manoppello. We gained the assistance of Sister Petra-Maria Steiner on the recommendation of Paul Badde and she was able to open for us the wonder of the Veil of Manopello.
​
Then we headed home exhausted and many just went to bed early.
