Assisi and Perugia

February 6 and 7

IES took the whole program to Assisi and Perugia for 2 days.  Both places were very beautiful.  We went to Assisi first.  Assisi is an old village with tons of churches.  So Friday consisted of a walking tour throughout the small city.  That night we went out to dinner at a meat house.  The meat and pasta were delicious.

On Saturday we went to Perugia.  Again we had a walking tour of the city.  Perugia is a bigger and more modern city than Assisi so it was neat to see how contrasting Italian cities can be.  Perugia looked like more of a gothic city.  Perugia is known for their chocolate, especially Baci.  Baci means kisses in italian and people buy that chocolate for their friends and family for Valentine's day.
