Silenzio, Silence. Shh!

This is the most spectacular view into the valley from Assisi. I have about five billion photos just of the view, since it's so gorgeous. This one's my favorite, though, partly because of the clouds, but mostly because of the giant yellow crane. Pretty awesome.

It is time for a brief celebration, since I've just upgraded my Flickr account so I can now put endless numbers of photos up and will never again run out of room. Muahaha!! So, enjoy, prosper, flourish, all that jazz.

"Silenzio, Silence. Shhh!" was repeated about every 5 minutes in the Basilica of San Francesco. It was hilarious, because it was said into a microphone so it echoed throughout the church over the rumble of voices; however the man who continually made the announcement sounded like he could care less in calling for silence, but always said "SHHH!" incredibly vigorously. Then there'd be silence for all of 45 seconds, except for the shuffling of feet, and voices would slowly begin to speak until the church was as noisy as before the announcement. Seems like a rather thankless job, to be the guy who calls for silence all day.
