Let's get out of this country: I like Umbria

We took a big group weekend trip to Umbria on the second weekend in March. It rained and snowed in Perugia and we saw a painting called the Flagellation of Christ in which Christ looked just like Christopher Walken (the highlight of the meuseum, definitely).

When we got to Assisi the next morning it was completely foggy outside. I couldn't even see across the piazza. We visited the Basilica of St. Francis which was neat. It had the best stained glass I've seen yet. Our guide was hilarious and contradicted everything my art history teacher ever told me. I met a Franciscan monk from Toronto. When we came out of the Basilica the weather had cleared up and I found out that Assisi is really beautiful. There were a bunch of tourists in Assisi. Maybe definitely it's hypocritical, but I don't like hearing other people speaking english in Italy.

In my lunch I had a "Caramel Jazz" candy bar. I never knew that jazz tastes just like Twix.

The next day we went to Cortona, a nice hilltop town in Tuscany. The highlight of the day was climbing to the top of the town(it's a very very steep town) and the lowlight was the gross gnocchi al tartufo I had for lunch. While we were on top of the city we took a lot of pictures a few of which are posted below. Taking these pictures was really fun. The Farley's in particular would be pleased that I pulled out both the “crime fighter” and “surfer” photo prompts.
