We parked in the large public lot on the south side of Assisi and walked into the center of town – the Piazza del Comune – for lunch. After lunch we found exactly what Meredith was seeking – a matched set of bowls, plates, and serving utensils. The kind lady carefully wrapped the whole set in bubble wrap and we put it in my backpack.

Continuing on our journey through town, we walked to the Basilica of St. Francis. This time we were able to enter easily and had a good look at the place, including the crypt and reliquary.

Once we'd satisfied our curiosity, we walked the length of the town back to our car. I got my exercise for the day carrying the bowls around.

For our last meal with Kelly and Andy, we went to a local Ristorante, Moro di Ronca. I had the special, the "fisherman's platter." About the only thing I recognized on the plate was an octopus about 2" in diameter. Really tasty stuff.
