Assisi

So, for a bit of context, San Francisco is named for Saint Francis.
And Saint Francis is from Assisi.
Which is a gorgeous place. The town, and the hills for miles around it. Everywhere you turn is beautiful.


We got to stay outside Assisi for several days. I still would love to come back though.
The buildings are made out of pink rock. There seems to be a newer part of town, and an older part of town. We only went to the newer part briefly. The older part looks almost like it was pulled straight out of the past. Except for power lines, and cars.

We visited the tomb of Saint Francis.
And saw the incorrupt body of Saint Clare.
And we saw the smallest church in Christendom.

I think Toledo and Assisi are places where I should set stories. I'll have to see what stories might fit.

We spent a day in Cortona. Another fantastic place.

Gelato is so gooood.

But you have to pay to use public restrooms. Whyyyyyy?
