This morning, on a whim, I decided to
go to the famous pilgrimage site Assisi. Assisi is best known for
being the home of St. Francis, founder of the Francisican order of
Monks. It is a major pilgrimage site for many people in Rome, but it
is also incredibly beautiful. I left in the morning with Teresa and
Nate. We barely made our train, and arrived just in time. We spent
the three hour train ride 'studying' for our Italian history midterm
and getting excited about our day trip. We arrived in Assisi around
10am and were able to hit all the touristy/important pilgrimage sites
by about 2:30.

Carnivale Festivities we just happened to run into:

| Only in Italy do they have meat, cheese, and wine floats for the adults. |

| They were roasting this mean straight up on the float. |
