Day 8 in Europe- Assisi

    On day 8, we woke up early for a hotel breakfast. Scrambled eggs, bacon and croissants with Nutella! It appears most of Europe has a Nutella addiction.

After breakfast, we loaded back on the bus and rode for about 2.5 hours to Assisi. We stopped at a little shop that offered free samplings of native wines and foods. I let Clay try the strawberry wine, I thought it was delicious, he on the other hand...let's just say I don't have to worry about him being a drinker.

Italian Olive Oil and Spices
There were also cheeses, sausages, truffles, olive oils, chocolates and spices. We also tried some of the truffle spread with cayenne pepper on a cracker. It was ok, but I am not really a fan of truffles. Clay bought a giant chocolate bar. Several people bought some oils, wine and sausage to bring home.
    Assisi was the most gorgeous town I have ever visited.

We walked through the town and stopped to have a delicious lunch at Ristoranti Pizzeria Monaci. Clay and I split a lasagna and it was amazing! The others at our table had pizza.

    After the meal, we went to the basilica of Assisi. We were led on the tour by one of the female resident friars.  It was peaceful and gorgeous.

After a long walk back to the bus, we got more gelato....chocolate again.  
We hopped back on the bus and headed towards Rome! The hotel was very modern in design but they didn't believe very much in ice or air conditioning. Tomorrow we Rome!

  1. A few 3D printers use a sheet of perforated board with tiny holes that fill with hot plastic during printing. This design holds an object solidly in place during printing, but objects may not simply come loose afterward. Using a thumbtack or an axe to push cvs flip flops the plugs of hardened plastic out of the perforations to free the object and/or clean the board is a time-consuming course of, and might injury the board. We've mentioned its measurement, but other elements of the construct platform can show crucial in follow. A good platform will let an object adhere to it whereas printing, but ought to allow for easy removing when the printing is completed. The commonest configuration is a heated glass platform coated with blue painter's tape or a similar floor.
