a brief taste of italy - assisi.

Ah, Assisi. i loved going to Assisi, simply because i felt like i was really in Italy!

Our first stop along the way was Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake in Italy. It was beautiful.

In Assisi, i visited the basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi (a World Heritage Site), the basilica of Santa Chiara (St Clare) which contains the tomb of the saint & the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli (St. Mary of the Angels), which houses the Porziuncola.
