Day 5: Sorrento to Assisi

I hadn't heard anything about Assisi before coming here, and I didn't think I had heard about the Franciscan Order of Monks either, which apparently began in Assisi. However, I had heard about St. Francis, who I've come to the conclusion is very cool. We also learned about St. Clare, a follower of St. Francis. She's also cool.

Also, the most beautiful man I ever saw in all of Italy was in this town. One minor (or major) drawback: he was a priest. It was so sad. His beautiful image will have to exist only in my memory, because I was not in the right frame of mind to snap a cheap shot (not to mention that would seem a little disrespectful: "Hey Father, you're hot, look this way so I can get a picture of you and show you to all of my Mormon girlfriends in Los Angeles!" - at least he most likely wouldn't have understood the English...). Here are some pictures I was able to take:

I almost missed this shot, but it ended up being one of the favorite pictures I took.

Friars! Something you don't get to see everyday. And these friars were totally walking around with their backpacks and large cameras like they were tourists. It was awesome.
