Field Trip--Urbino and Assisi

Last weekends field trip was very intense...lots and lots of art and art history and mosaics and churches. Our first night, we had an immense never ending feast--the antipastas alone were amaaazing! Ricotta and mozzarella..salumi, olives, artichoke hearts...more cheese! Then a huge sampling of pastas for the primi--risotto alle verdure, ravioli, gnocchi al pomodoro, passatelli ai funghi porcini, tagliatelle al ragu.....for the secondi, carne e patate con verdure e insalate. And dessert of course! And wine!The next day, we went to Raphael's childhood home in Urbino
Then to Assisi! We visited the immense Basilica di San Francesco. The frescos were so beautiful..
And then, back to Urbino for free time in the evening. I went to a really neat bar with some friends to drink our dinner...
