Assisi to Bevagna

This was our shortest ride to date, just under 16 miles, and downhill almost the entire day, We hardly knew what to do with ourselves! Well, that’s not true, we did as we always do: we took in the sights, stopped for a refreshment along the way, and basically just kept right on enjoying ourselves fully. 😊 Photos, you ask? Here you go…

Here’s an amazing little yellow flower I’ve never seen before

A few more pics I took as we left Spello; note the olive tree growing out of the top of the tower, and of course, lots of colorful annuals in pots adorning almost every building…

A little further down the road, we noticed this great view of Assisi behind us…

Once we arrived in Bevagna and got settled in our room, we took a stroll around town. On one side street, there was a sign for some Roman mosaics. We couldn’t be sure, but thought this was them:

Ancient Roman mosaics?

Lastly, here are a last bunch of images from yesterday evening in Bevagna…
