Assisi

My Saint's and Sinners class took a field trip to Assisi on Friday to actually see the places we had talked about it class.

We saw three massive churches (Basilica of San Maria of the Angels, Santa Chiara, and the Basilica of San Francesco) and the old church called San Damiano. All these places had to do with Saints Clare and Angela. Eventually we will be going to Sienna to learn more about Saint Catherine. The Basilica's and Santa Chiara were absolutely massive! San Maria even housed an old building from the time of Saint Clare inside of it, they simply built around it!

On our lunch break we hiked up to this old Castle and you could see Perugia from there. It was a little strange looking back at Perugia, when normally I look out at Assisi. We had to pull out the compass app to figure out which part of Perugia we were looking at and where our apartments were in correlation.

I experienced mint gelato for the first time in Assisi, it was called "After Eight" and it was AMAZING! Best mint I've had ever, it was refreshing and minty all at once, and the chocolate chunks were in there too so it was just all around delicious.
