On Friday, March 25, Sara, Jenn, a friend Rhiannon, and I took a day trip to the medieval hill town of Assisi. Let me tell you, this day began with a burst of energy! After an alarm that didn’t go off we rushed out the door, ran to the metro station and hopped aboard, ran like no tomorrow through Termini train station AND…missed our train. After convincing ourselves that we weren’t actually going to die from searing lungs, we paid 8 Euros to get the next train and arrived in Assisi around noon. The church of Saint Francis of Assisi is absolutely gorgeous. It had relics of Saint Francis and frescoes by Giotto. The rest of the day basically consisted of wandering in churches and through quaint streets and munching on Goldfish supplied by my grandma. In the evening we returned to Rome to sleep and get up early to catch a train to Siena.
When you're in a foreign place and you don't know where you are half the time......missing a train, a bus, or the metro can be quite interesting, especially if a station is on a set departure schedule. Thank goodness you were able to catch a later one :-)
