next on the agenda: assisi

One of the best things about taking a guided tour like this one is being taken to places that one would have never otherwise visited, like Assisi. A tiny, rural city famous pretty much only for being the home of St. Francis, Assisi was probably the prettiest place we saw on the whole trip. The mountains, endless sunflower fields and ancient buildings were impossibly beautiful. (And the free wine and food tasting that we got to participate in while we were there wasn't bad either.)
