Assisi, Italy 3/16/10

Today we visited the Borghese Gallery where we saw sculptures by Bernini and works by other Italian artists. Very intricate and interesting. Afterwards we got on the bus heading to Assisi.

Assisi really is a beautiful little city. It’s so tranquil here. I took Jim’s advice and got lost in the city on my own. Definitely a peaceful experience. When I say it’s little I’m not exaggerating. Walking around I found myself crossing one end of the city to the other in what seemed like 5 minutes. I saw the outside of the Basilica of Saint Francis and the Rocca Maggiore among other sites. Odd thing I found in a shop: 5 Batmans in different colors packaged together as Power Rangers.
