Day 8: Assisi and Rome

On our way to Rome, we stoped at Assisi for two hours to see the Basilica of Saint Francis. I really enjoyed the tour of the Basilica because our tour guide explained the story's behind the painting on the wall and it gave me a visual to be able to understand them. After we left Assisi and arrived in Rome we went to go see the Trevi Fountain. That was very mesmerizing but I was a bit surprise of the size, in pictures it looked bigger but it's still just as beautiful if not better in person. After the Trevi Fountain we walked about five minutes to the Pantheon. I'm always surprised when we turn a corner and see history right in front of me. While at the Pantheon one of my questions got answered while I was listening in on a tour guide explaining the Pantheon. On the floor of the Pantheon right under the open skyline on the roof there are holes and that is where the rain water drains from, I was happy to hear that because all I have done was look up, but I never looked down to see that small detail, and was happy to notice it while I was there and not when doing more research on it.Read more
