Anna Hotel Perugia

... today. That has to be my favorite saint. Very busy here even though end of season. No wireless interent. We have one more day and we start home. I think we are ready to get home. It has been beautiful here and I have learned so much, but all good things must come to an end. See you all next week I hope.

... pizzeria where I had delicious lasagna. After lunch we browsed through the many stands. Sample after sample led to some major purchases. It was hard to pass up the various chocolate products when the smell just filled the air. There was everything from chocolate beer to chocolate &#8220;pills&#8221; to chocolate pasta!! <br><br>Heaven.<br><br>I&#8217;ll update you soon,<br><br>Siara

... the most interesting surprize.<br><br>Perugia is surrounded by modern buildings and from the parking area there is a very modern, completely automated "minitram" connecting like a long rollercoaster, through the village below and under the mountain to the far side of Perugia. This is probably the most modern and efficient devise in all of Italy.<br><br>Arriving at the far side of Perugia, we were herded ...

So Licia and I both had to work on Saturday morning so we decided to meet at her house when we finished and then drive up to Montecastrilli for the night. The weather was nice and as it was late afternoon, we had little traffic.<br><br>It was a pleasant 2 hour drive to Montecastrilli. This is a small village near the center of ...

... and everything. We had a great view to the surrounding hills. <br>Perugia is a quaint town with cobblestone streets. We got a bit turned around and ended up back in the same spot we started walking but eventually found our way around the town. Then we headed to Assisi. We walked through markets and saw numerous churches. The stones and narrow streets reminded me of Siena. We grabbed a milkshake and gelato and headed back to Perugia.<br>

... Today the square is still a local meeting point for tourist and students alike. <br>The heart of the square belongs to Fontana Maggiore (Great Fountain) built between 1275 and 1278 by father and son team Nicola and Giovanni Pisano.<br>At the other end of the Piazza is the Cathedral of St Lorenzo with its pink façade, which was never truly completed.

Although Hebrew language is now taught at University of Perugia, and there is a small group of Italian Jews and a few ex-pat American Jews in Perugia and suburbs, the numbers are not great enough to support a synagogue.

... Have a couple of pictures from today, but will have to send later. I will also send a picture of our dinner from last night which consisted of tortellini with red sauce. Anyway enough for now and NO we have not seen our land lady since her day of inventory!! She is probably still recouperating as I know we are! Now our big task is to find our WHERE to take the trash!

... him John, and then he proceeds to point in the direction behind me... I turn around, and there he is! Talk about coincidences! Exhausted, we returned to the hotel around 1 am and I was in bed by 2... slept and slept... didn't wake up until noon! We made our lunches with the supplies we had purchased from a grocery stores the day ...
