| a fresco in the Basilica of St. Francis on the lower level |
Assisi is great for a one-day visit. Whether for the expansive views of the rolling hills of Umbria, a hike up to Ermeo delle Carceri (a spiritual refuge to where St. Francis would retreat to pray) or to have your breath taken away by the sheer beauty of the Basilica, you'll enjoy its quaintness.
On the right is a picture of a thousand year old tree, possibly. A woman tried to explain the significance of the tree to me...albeit in Italian on day 5 in Italy when I was just trying to remember buona sera. :) There used to be water there, but then it dried up during World War II?
