It's hard to put into words how I feel about Assisi. It was the most mystical and charming place I have ever visited. The burial place of Saint Francis of Assisi takes up the crypt of Saint Francis Basilica. I sat in Saint Francis tomb for several hours. I watched as 40+ nuns arrived and knelt, saying prayers. I also watched as 50+ Indians arrived and fought over candles to light in honor of Saint Francis. While I can't understand the Catholic side of his burial spot I can say his life and way of living challenged me. I didn't know much about Saint Francis other then his well known prayers. After visiting Assisi I can say that I am intrigued by his life and how he lived. I'd love to go back to Assisi again.
Assisi was literally sandwiched between the clouds. High on top of a hill the views were breath taking.
We had an excellent guide that took us through the little town. Here is all of Jason's class in the birthplace of Saint Francis.
Jason took me on a glorious date at the top of the city overlooking one of the castles. It is one of my favorite memories of Assisi.
In the morning we climbed to the other side of the city. Stunning views and the clouds were magical.
I could have taken a picture at every street and around every corner. Assisi was full of picture perfect moments. Some of the smallest cars I have ever seen were there. Literally go-karts.
