Assisi

Well, we hopped on a boat to the train station and from there left Venice. As we traveled inland, what came into view were my favorite country landscapes. There was grass and dirt again.

Assisi is my favorite city so far. Being in a smaller town set on a hill just makes my soul happy. The streets are narrow and the ground often uneven, but the buildings here aren't so high that they block out the sun, and so the town seems very light and welcoming.

I chose tree for this town in honor of returning to the mainland, also for all the upright churches and bell towers scattered throughout it. This pose represents the balance of the town set in the hill where the structures are built above one another, but don't compete for attention.
