Years ago, I went to Assisi.
I never forgot how beautiful it was, so we drove to the hilltop town again today — 20+ years later.
Right in the middle of Umbri, Assisi is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in Italy.
It is just a patchwork of different greens, and a road that leads up to a city built into the side of a mountain.
There is a large square and a large air-conditioned church. (My mom was very pleased with the air conditioning!)
The entire town is picturesque. It is all stone, with narrow streets throughout. Honestly, it is what Hollywood movies are made of!
A favorite stop in this town, was the embroidering shop. We watched this man and his steady hand for 30 minutes.
He created the cutest backpack for Pippi!
We separately wandered the streets of Assisi for a few hours.
I had Pippi on a special date.
Micah took the other three for a photo shoot all around town.
And my mom sat in the cool church the whole time!
We ended with gelato, and a park for the kids — the first decent park in all of Italy!
Where Dash could actually kick his soccer ball around.
YAY!
