See the itinerary of this trip, and details about each destination.
Assisi was amazing! I visited the hometown of St Francis amongst busloads of tourists, witnessed nuns talking to the birds just like St Francis, and visitied the tomb of St Francis. It was a beautiful hill town besides all the people during the day.(tourists)

The view and the sunset were spectacular. I ate my picnic dinner of fontana cheese, crackers, a pear and ritter chocolate in the main town square as the sun went down. The town is full of Pax y Bene = peace and goodwill. On the way out I heard a rousing version of We Are Going to See the King coming from a cathedral. It was some of the most stirring music I have ever heard. An African woman also heard it and followed me in. In the Catholic church, a protestant American choir was belting away beatiful melodies in Assisi. As soon as I sat down it was over, but it was beatiful. The choir director said, thats all even though people kept applauding and wanting more.

I took a superfast train from Roma to Naples today (186mph) and then took a bus to Sorrento. Im staying in a pretty freaky hostel tonigt (La Serene) Siren of the Sea and one of my roommates is a guy named Chris from Missouri.

I miss you all...i am trying to

Sounds like a very balanced dinner. Good travler.
Too bad you missed the choir singing sounds like it would have been nice to hear.
Wow, 186 miles per hour, that is crazy. I didn't even know trains went that fast. Are you using a Eurorail pass to travel? Sounds like you are having a great time. Gail and Roger
