Today we checked out of our hotel in Rome, and left for our 3 hr bus ride to Perugia (Assisi). I sat with Megan and watched Warm Bodies on my laptop! We had a break at a gas station, and then went to meet up with the Monk at the Basilica of San Francesco. He told us about the steps he sent through to become a friar, and how he lives his life.
After the very nice meeting and the blessing he gave us, we went back to the bus and lots of people bought some sort of pig sandwich... everyone loved it..it wasnt my thing.
After driving for like 15 minutes we ended up on this town on the hill called Assisi(uh-see-see) .. after walking up steep roads we got into two groups. The first group went to meet the mentally/physically challenged. We had like 25 ish minutes with them, and sang them some songs. Then we switched and my group went to the streets to walk around.. and explore. I bought some amazing fresh milk chocolate.
After both groups were done, Markus took us up a big hill, which killed all our legs.. haha Some looked around the church up there...some just flirted with the british or french girls at the bottom of the hill (AVI!!) Markus took us to dinner...which wasnt to great.
We got new roommates and room assignments here in Perugia.. wifi's only in the lobby or in one corner of a hall, so theres about 30 kids in the lobby using wifi and playing Mafia. (I also got stuck in the bathroom......hhahah it was really funny!! When I FINALLY got it open there was about 10 girls outside the door seeing whats going on... it was great!)
Yum!!! Fresh milk chocolate!! Sounds like an amazing and fulfilling day! More pics more pics ;-)
