It is the weekend!! Ok, well we have one day off but one day was all I needed to go see Assisi. Assisi is a medieval town (very touristy) of about 20,000. It is the birth place of St. Francis and has a bunch of churches. Once David, Neto and I got to Assisi (after about an hour and a half on the train) we took the bus all the way to the top of the town (it is up on a good sized hill). W could see the entire region. It was amazing. We sent the entire day just walking down the hill and around the town. It was a nice and relaxing day and is was great to get out and do a bunch of walking. The first church that we stopped at was really cool. The frescos and stained glass were beautiful. When we were looking to stop for lunch we found this cute little place that sold sandwiches made of all organic (or as they say, biological) ingredients. The sandwiches were amazing. During the afternoon we visited the church of St Francis (it was HUGE), got gelato and went into some stores. While we were at St Francis's church we went into the church gift shop (such a weird concept) just to check it out. The gift shop was twice the size of a normal sized gas station. It was ginormous. They sold everything from rosaries to chocolate, honey and tea. It was pretty crazy. We got over the hugeness pretty quick and went on our way to do more exploring. The day went very quickly but it was a very tiring day so I am sorry if this post is kinda all over the place or not as good as others because, well, I am about to fall asleep on my computer. I think It was a good idea to go to Assisi today rather than just sitting around like everyone else did today.
