Assisi, Italy #Day74

A day trip to..
!
A 3 hour train ride from Florence and we arrived in a very foggy Assisi~
We saw so many churches! 
Luckily the sun started shining through the clouds at around 12:30! :) 
We went into the tomb of St Clare and St Francis, they were very moving and powerful.
Walking up to the Castle~ 
St Francis Cathedral~ 

Then we hopped on the train again for the 3 hour journey back to Florence!

Florence, Italy #Day73

2nd day in Florence~
This morning we went on a free walking tour of the medieval part of the city~
An artist created a series of funny road signs~
Down this street is where the author of Pinocchio~Carlo Collodi lived~
And this house is where Michelangelo grew up!~
After the tour we went to San Lorenzo Market where the locals say are the best food and bag stalls~ 
I bought my self a leather bag!
Then we walked over to the other side of the river to see the View from Piazzale Michelangelo~
Amazing!~
We then went to The Leather School of Foorence~
This school was started after the War to help orphans aquire a trade~
Inside you can watch bags being made which was really fascinating~


Tomorrow we are off on a day trip to Assisi!
