assisi
*basilica of st francis
wed. march 8th
today we visited Assisi, birth and resting place of St Francis. this city nothing less than beautiful. as our beloved marco showed us around his home town, i could not help it but notice that there was magic there. i must say that this is by far my favorite hill town that i've seen. there is just something about it -- the peace, the colors, the location.... its all great. the first thing we visited was the basilica of st francis. this church is pretty damn cool. there is actually, in fact, two main churches built at separate times on top of each other. there is also a crypt under all of it housing the remains of st francis himself. we also had a splendid lunch there -- it was so f!$&* good! such a shame that we left kind of early because the city is pretty far from castiglion. oh well, i enjoyed every single second there, i'll probably go back. Ciao!
