Assisi

We went to Assisi on Thursday instead of Wednesday due to the heavy snowfall we had on Wednesday.

Assisi is a pretty small town about an hour and a half away from Castiglion Fiorentino in the Umbria province. It's well known for being the home of St. Francis of Assisi, and most of the stuff in town revolves around the history of St. Francis and the Franciscan Order which was formed in order to maintain his doctrines.

Mostly Assisi is a town you want to walk around and see, so with no further adieu...

Approaching the church of St. Francis, no pictures allowed inside of course.

Ok so, the trick garage door... This is truly amazing. The people in the city sometimes don't have enough room to fit their cars in their garages, and they are only allowed to have their doors be a certain very small width. So these people built the garage in such a way that the stone columns on the sides are actually part of the door. Look really closely, see the stone column/pillars on the sides of the doors? Those swing in with the wooden doors. Yeah.

Anyway, that was Assisi, pretty neat town, had mediocre canoli but great streets and houses. So after returning we had dinner, played 42 for an hour or two, then crashed and got ready to go to Maranello in the morning to see the Ferrari factory...
