Monday June 24th

Today we woke up early to drive to Assisi, getting more and more excited as the scenery became increasingly beautiful the closer we got to the city. We enjoyed a walk through the city along the cobblestoned winding streets, up and down the hills. Our first stop was the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, where we spent hours in awe of the painted wall murals of both the upper annd the lower churches.



Next, we visited the Curch of Saint Claire, and then  ran through the rain to get back to the cars to head off to Spoleto. In Spoleto we went to the Duoma Sant'Imbria Assunti and then walked along a Roman aqueduct and were greeted by a breathtaking view of the valley and surrounding cliffs.
