Today we took a day trip to the Umbrian town of Assisi with ISA (my study abroad program).
You know, Assisi. As in "Saint Francis of." Saint Francis was a pretty cool dude. He was all about living in poverty, preaching to the birds (and all of God's creatures) and encouraging peace.
We spent longer on the bus (total) than we did actually in Assisi, but it was still cool. We got a guided tour of the church and the main part of town, then had free time to wander around. Smrithi (my roommate) and I got some lunch, bought a bottle of Orvieto (Umbria's signature wine), walked the streets, and saw the Temple of Minerva.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.
