Assisi - part 2

As I mentioned in my last post Assisi was built on a hillside. As a result the town is a little difficult to get around. The beginning of this posting is just going to show what it is like. Since we spent most of our time walking around and exploring, this post will show you why we were so tired by the end of the day. You'd better feel sorry for me. That's all I want.


Up, down, or restaurant.


You'd have to be pretty fit to live in Assisi.








Even though it was difficult to get around it was definitely worth it. The town is beautiful. Everywhere you turn there's another picture opportunity.


I waited at the bottom of these steps for quite a while to take this picture. Every time the last person was almost out of view, someone new would round the corner.





Eventually Sarah guided me up towards the top of the hill.


But on the way up Sarah felt compelled to add her gum to the growing collection.


We decided not to go in to the castle because it was pricey and Sarah said that there's not really much to see inside. We decided to have lunch in some of the shade that it provided. We packed our lunches at Sarah's suggestion. It's not a bad place to have a brown bag lunch. The view certainly was nice.


Sarah surveys her territory.


There aren't too many bad views from the top of the hill.


Sarah's still surveying her lands.
