Assisi: Wednesday

On Wednesday, we went back to Assisi.  We started by taking a taxi from the train station to the Rocco Maggiore, the fort/castle that overlooks the whole of Assisi.  After spending the morning exploring the area in and around the castle, we wandered down into Assisi proper for a delicious lunch.  We spent the afternoon meandering through Assisi, shopping, looking at buildings and churches, and just enjoying the city.  After this exploration, we looked at the train station from the hill and decided to walk back to it (about 4 kilometers, I think).  It was, luckily, all down hill.  It was a nice walk, though quite hot and not particularly shady.  We checked out one more enormous church just down from the train station before catching the train back to Perugia.  For dinner, we tried out a restaurant with beautiful views stretching from Perugia to Assisi.  The views were gorgeous, and the food was tasty (the service was a bit lackluster).  We headed back to the hotel to get packed up to depart Umbria.
