Short post.  I got to the train station and found that there is a train strike I think just for trains going to Perugia.  So I walked around the town near the train station instead.  There is a big old beautiful church here just behind the train station I got to see.   This town is quaint and has real shops and a supermarket.  Assisi has a few small grocery stores but I couldn't find Seymour's food there. Now he will have 8 more cans to eat up quickly!
I had heard about the strikes here but this is the first time it affected me.  They don't know how long it will last but I am hoping just one day.  I need to find a Vodafone store and buy my train ticket to Cinque Terre for next week.  Also I need internet access to find a place to stay after Cinque Terre.  
Last night we walked around Assisi and I got in on a few tours that were in English.  There are Friars who do tours in various languages.  I am assuming that there is a monastery here because there are lots of nuns and friars around. Again I took Seymour into the churches we could get in.  Technically, their sign shows a picture of a dog walking with a line through it and Seymour is in his sling.  I'm just saying . . It did start raining hard last night and I saw on the news this morning that there was flooding in Rome and Naples.  
So here we sit in McD's again - this time with fries and Coke light.  Maybe tomorrow I can get the internet issue fixed.
