Today we visited Assisi - home of St Francis of ...
A beautiful, hilly town with an incredible, massive basilica and shops selling some of the crappiest souvenirs imaginable. Though I did pick up a very nice St Francis snowdome. And we ate absolutely spectacularly good pasta.
This afternoon Perugia's huge and impresive gallery of Umbrian art. Housed in an incredible 13th century building and with more paintings of Madonna-and-Child than you can poke a stick at.
Tonight great pizza and a stroll around the beautiful streets of Perugia.

Glad your trip is going well.
Our thoughts on Assisi were remarkably similar to your blog comments (apart from the fact you didn't mention the rude information centre staff!)
