Arte Hotel Ferro Di Cavallo Perugia

... and everything. We had a great view to the surrounding hills.
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.

... this route before it was through the dark and didn't see any of the beauty) from Florences was some of the most beautiful we have seen so far in Italy. The train takes you past Lago Trasimeno a drop dead gorgeous lake with picturesque islands floating on its crystal surface, surrounded by lush green hills. Now this is the real heart of Italy, were you slow your pace to suit the life around you.

One of Italy's best preserved hill towns ...

... We didn’t imagine ourselves what portion of history we are going to meet up.

At 10 o’clock there was concert and then presentation of the Mayor Silvano Materazzi and introduction by Jack Arbib, we soon will come back to Signor Arbib, but first let me tell you who was Salomon Fiorentino: Born in Monte San Savino, district of Arezzo, in Tuscany, Italy in 1743 and died in Florence in 1815, writer and poet, wrote the “suicide of Neera” and various ...

... hill towns of Tuscany.
The next day, we were off on a day trip to Siena. While the bus ride from Chiusi to Montepulciano was peaceful, up winding hillsides, this one was a little different. We were fortuante enough to be on the same bus as the 200 high school kids from Montepulciano... apparently they get out at 12:00 in Italy! So the bus was filled with rowdy kids, which would have been ...

... might be better...umm no. Was muddier and smelt funny. The ducks seemed to like it though! Decided to lie in the sun
anyway for a few hours and exit stage left..... I cant believe anyone would want to have a holiday there!

... in Honeydew... its finding suitable bushes around!

Went up to the town but its really a day time place and was dead quiet. Had a quick look in the morning as well. Its pretty but another little hillside town.

The weather had gotten hot so we decided the next stop would be Lake Tramiseno

... out in our small apartment and watch movies. It was fun, though, and a good way for Em and Malcolm to catch up on their sleep. Starting Monday after Easter the weather steadily improved and we were on the run. We had Monday off from classes. We rented a car and we drove to some of the more interesting Umbrian hill towns: Bagnoregio, birthplace of St. Bonaventure and known as the city that is dying because of the erosion of the ground ...

This medium city is the first I visited in Italy.

After (about) 4 hours by bus from Roma I arrived there at the end of the day of November 24, 2007. I have spent about 2 days in Perugia, I think it is enough to have an idea and a good view of the city.

It it not too small, not too big and and I recommand you to do everything by walk to enjoy all the narrow streets in the historical center.

The architecture is very interresting and cross different age (Etruscan ...

... We are beginning to think that moving would be a mistake. We will go to class tomorrow and try to decide what is right for us. Following class, came home to drink Chianti. Yum again. Also tried to watch Air Force One in Italian - too weird! Okay, so here I am today on Friday. Didn't have class this AM, but had to report to the Police station to pick up our permit of stay. As I thought, another line. You ...

... where is the guy in the green shirt, number ten?) As we took the stairs back up to the piazza to get home, I looked up and saw the same group of guys with lucky number 10! We shyly exchanged ciaos and kept walking. I turned around to see if he would turn around. He did, gave me a little smile and I turned around and kept walking. After taking two steps forward, "screw it." I wheeled around and made my way over to the group who were disbelief that I was ...
