This weekend we went to the small medieval town of Assisi.  It is only about 2 hours from Rome.  There was actually a lot of hiking around the town which we took advantage of.  On sunday morning we watched the sun rise but the cloud cover and mountains blocked it.  It was worth it though to see the town wake up.  
The entire town was made with stone and built into the hillside.  In art history we looked at Louis Kahn's sketchbooks and some of what he drew from his visit to Assisi.  In one instance, we though we found one of his vantage points.  Pretty neat.  

Time for figure drawing!
