______________________________________

so I decided instead of doing a really blog post with my writing, since I want to get this out sooner than later…and I really can’t remember the specific details of everything, I want to share pictures I took and then talk about what happened. including some funny pictures of course….

thank you for the people who let me use their pictures!!!! (if you know)
------------------------------------
so to start off…
SPOLETO
 
so it rained all day when we were in Spoleto, and we went to meet with Italian students from an art school, they took us on a tour around the town.
ART SCHOOL-
it was really nice at the school. very creative students!

so building I don’t know about

this is the death bridge…its not really called “death bridge” but this guy told us that some people kill themselves off the bridge..and since it was raining and I was miserable I was like “I should just end it now on this death bridge…”

Amelia trying to go over death bridge…haha

we also stopped at this church in town and this church had paintings from the artist Fra Flippo Lippi among others…take a look!


PERUGIA
in Perugia, it did not rain so I had a pleasant time in this city. This city is know for the universities…the Perugia one and the Universitá di Straneri (The University for Foreigners)
we took a mini-metro to the top (isn’t it so cute?

there was also a MAYA store…I felt special especially since the clothes were expensive…a hat for 50,00 euros….
the main street

a student protest for students’ rights was there…a huge group of kids wanting change (which was really cool to see)

and of course, whenever there is a protest…the communist come a following
ASSISI
this is one of my favorite towns on the trip, but my least favorite part was that I had to walk a 7km hike to the temple of San Francesco (for enlightenment as Mr. Sanmartino says)
one of the main doors to Assisi

from up the hike….
the big man himself…San Francesco

both pictures are from the sanctuary…they must have been really small (picture on right)

Assisi, the town itself…can’t believe this town’s population is only 2,000!
we went to the Church of…(San Francesco’s confidant)
and the Church of San Francesco
I don’t have pictures of the inside (not allowed to) but I saw, Giotto and Cimabue artistry in there….

We also got to visit the Church di Santa Maria di Angeli (?)
and it was so beautiful…it was monstrous…

MONTEFALCO
this is the town where people come to die…aka old people’s town aka…Amelia’s paradise…
