Looking from the Piazza del
Comune "down" the via San Francesco (?) in the direction whence we had
come from lunch (and which we followed to reach the Basilica of St.
Francis on the way out of town) |
 |
Eric, Rachel, Marc, Chase,
and Emma being battered by the wind at the base of the walls of the Rocca
Maggiore. The wind was howling which compounded the cool
temperature. The fort was built by German invaders in 1174 and then
rebuilt many times (the last phase by Pope Paul III ended in 1538). |
 |
Eric being pushed backwards
as he tries to storm the castle walls. The shot is blurry because my
hand was shaking so much in the wind that the camera couldn't focus. |
 |
Me (Mr. Yost in a picture
taken by Em) with the Rocca Maggiore in the background. Note Eric
has given up on storming the wall and retreats. |

Rachel, Chase, Eric, and Emma
as we work our way down from the Rocca Maggiore fort looking for the Roman
amphitheater. |
