Today we went to Assisi and Perugia. We didnt have much time at Assisi, but we got to see St. Francis's tomb and frescoes by Giotto. I did my research on Giotto and it was very pleasing to get to see his actual work in person. They didnt look like they were in the best shape, but it was still a great experience. We aso went to a church where we got to see a painting by Caravaggio. It wasn't out in the open where everyone could see. We had to be let in. I felt priviledged to see that. We came back to La Romita after we were done at Perugia and had time to work in the studio. I really like it here for that reason. We get a lot more opportunities to make art and I feel like that is what I'm doing with most of my time here. It's a great place to kick back and make art! It's much different from staying in the bigger cities and right in the middle of everything.
