Sorry to have left Assisi.  Just a terrific little town if you want to spend a little time in the 13th century without fear of catching the bubonic plague or small pox.  Hiked a local mountain today called Mt. Subasio, which overlooks Assisi and the Umbrian countryside.  Not an easy or short hike, but worth it-

Anyway, came back and took the train to Rome.  I have been impressed with the Italian trains- they are pretty cheap (about $11 for the 2+ hour trip to Rome) and on time.  Of course, at Rome they dump you out about 5 miles from the station in some Roman suburb and you have to walk the rest of the way.  Maybe they just stop when the hit arrival time so as to keep their on time record intact (or it saves on the cost and explains why the trains are so cheap).  This would have been a strategy the old Soviets would have admired, as they were big on statistics.  While 5 miles might be a bit of hyperbole, they did stop about 1km from the station and I was not amused after having already hiked 14 miles or so today.

A few more from Assisi-
