Assisi


Well Judy may need to go to confession after this stop at Assisi… for when viewing the St Francis Basilica, that was built to honor St Francis, the patron saint of animals, she thought the calendars at the were free not seeing the donate  2 Euro here sign.  All this came just moments after watching Greetings from Greece movie on the bus, where there was a shoplifter in the group.  The church is very much a working church with monks and nuns using this as their place of worship and residence.  This church has not only viewing some magnificent frescos but the church honors St Francis and his works.  The town itself was quant and mostly tourist shops and cafes.  We walked up and down the hilly streets for 2 hours then back on the bus to our dinner in Rome.  This trip to Rome is more of a stopover in route to southern Italy where we will head to Sorrento, Naples and Capri.
