Now, with titles!
This is a crazy altar in Arezzo. Could you imagine that as your altar at church??
More of the altar, with the stained glass in the background - isn't it beautiful?
I really liked this side altar in Arezzo, but couldn't get a good angle or picture of it. I think I still want you all to realize how colorful it is, so please take a look at it, even though its a bad picture.
This is a bad picture, and I know it. But it has an interesting story behind it. There was once a painting of the Virgin Mary in a bakery and the bakery caught fire. Everything in the bakery was destroyed, except, when they were going through the rubble, they found the painting and its colors had dramatically gotten brighter.
Here is a close up of the painting, you can see its good colors, my bad for the blurryness.
Typical medieval cross & depiction of Jesus.
Tuscan Hills
This is the view from the castle where we had our wine tasting.
A awfully blurry picture of the wine barrels...
These are the old terracotta olive oil holders - unfortunately, they're not allowed to use them anymore for cleanliness reasons, but they are still on display. Also, notice the rings above them? Those are left over from the original purpose of this space...the dungeon!
Red wine barrels! Notice how they're stained red...
Beautiful Assisi

I really loved this stained glass picture of St. Francis

It was misty, but it was beautiful!

Assisi is on top of a hill so all the views were like this, unfortunately, it was a little misty out...
Doors in Assisi
Old houses in Assisi - actually, if you notice, the part that is sticking out is an old version of an addition. Kind of cool...

What a beautiful fountain.
An old fresco (that you can't really see) above the door of a church in Assisi

I have an arch addiction
Also, I have an addiction to covered passageways
They're just so pretty...

This is a castle, but it was really built for defensive purposes. Isn't it beautiful? We tried to go up there, but we didn't have enough time.
Olive trees, which are easily identified with their silver leaves...
