Laura's Wedding (Sept 7-10, 2007)

A long weekend trip to Perugia and Assisi for a best friend's wedding. Another memorable journey to the heart of Tuscany and Umbria. I thought the Chinese eat too much at weddings but the Italians eat even more, one similarity though.... both cultures really appreciate good quality food! =)
