Seven years after our first trip to Perugia we also went back to Assisi - mainly to see the places were Saint Francis of Assisi lived and is buried. Mia got picked up at the old city gate by the Cacciatos who had an extra spot in their car - we had to wait a bit for them to show up
- we took the train and then walked to the church which was our meeting point. A holy father helped us to go the right way
Inside the church was a chapel that Saint Francis had build and when we left a big souvenir shop
Then we went uphill to the town of Assisi to the church were St. Francis is buried:
We spend more than an hour inside but picture taking was not allowed - but we made up for it outside
Someone was singing a song that was based on y prayer by St. Francis - beautifully videotaped by Dan
Outside the compound was peace bell donated by the state of Bavaria to show the harmony of the four main religions in the world
Then it was time to head back since the Cachiattos were invited for dinner - we al squeezed into the car with Mia and Nico in the back of the Ford station wagon
We had a nice evening dinner in a restaurant down the street from our hotel before leaving town the next morning
