On Saturday, September 27, we got on a bus with all the students and headed toward Assisi and Perugia. It was a 2-hour drive. We had a private tour guide who was born and raised in Perugia and who specializes in giving tours in Perugia and Assisi. He was fabulous and gave us some great information that made the trip really worthwhile. Now that we have started taking a class on Florentine Art History, I am familiar with the Florentine Renaissance artists. So I looked at the frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue in the Basilica of St. Francis with a new eye. The students enjoyed the trip too, but I think they enjoyed the wine and chocolate more than the artwork. On the way home, we stopped at an old castle and explored. That was pretty cool!
