Back from Assisi

After spending three days in Assisi, Italy, we are now in a more modern city. Assisi was the home of St. Francis of Assisi and looks much like it did hundreds of years ago. Despite the fact that Assisi is high in the hills of Umbria, it is visited by millions of people every year.

While in Assisi, we enjoyed the long walks through the hilly streets. I forced my husband to visit nearly every church and gift shop. The food was wonderful. We ate a few meals at a wonderful family run restaurant called Ristorante Minerva.

The church is absolutely amazing. The art and the structure are incredible. I've never seen so many nuns wearing habits!!!!

Our journey through Italy continues.......
