Most places are closed in Italy on Sundays, so yesterday was mostly a rest day. We took some time to explore our resort, find the nearest train station, and wander around the closest town.
Today we took a guided tour to Cortona and Assisi. Cortona is towards the top of a mountain, and was where the movie Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed. We used some of our time there to admire the view. By the time we went through a small museum and some shops our time was up and we had to get on the bus to move on.
Assisi is best known as the birthplace as both Saint Francis and Saint Claire. We had lunch shortly after arriving, and then had the chance to tour their basilicas. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to take pictures in either basilica. On our way out of town we saw the basilica of Saint Mary, a church built around a much smaller church that Saint Francis had reconstructed.
Here are some pictures from the last few days:
