Day 7-Assisi, 9-15-14

Early breakfast then bus trip to Assisi.  We spent about 5 hrs exploring the old city and the churches, saw the tombs of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Claire. Also saw the Santa Maria degli Angelina basilica. Got back to hotel in time to rest before dinner.  The weather has been perfect, cool to warm, and all the food here is excellent.  I bought a small bottle of walnut liquor to try it.  
Rome arrangements: Carol and I were able to finalize our connection from this trip to the next one today. Our hotel found a driver for us. This is wonderful because it saves us a lot of time and effort-we would have had to drag our big heavy luggage on two trains and a couple of buses and stay over another night in Rome and have our bags held at the hotel-this way costs the same but it's much easier and no bag lugging on trains, etc.
