We were able to visit the enchanting town of Assisi. Before Assisi we stopped at the Basilica of Santa Maria deli Angeli. This basilica houses the Porziuncola (where St. Francis and the early Franciscans started their community), the crypt where St. Francis died, and the famous Rose Garden.
Unfortunately, the Basilica of St. Clare was closed and we could not visit there. The Basilca of St. Francis is unlike most basilicas with all of its famous frescoes while keeping a sense of simpleness. Visiting the tomb of St. Francis and his brothers is a moving experience.
We finished with a pizza dinner. Here we received a demonstration of the pizza making process and many students were able to make their own pizzas.
We have our tour of Florence tomorrow.
Ciao
