25 August - An excursion to Assisi

Sunday was our day off, so we headed off to explore the sites at nearby Assisi.

Bill, Tony and Pete wait for their serving of tartuffo (truffles).

Of course in retrospect a couple of pictures of Assisi might have been a good idea...

So here is a picture I took of a postcard from Asissi...
