Today we went to Perugia by train and we left around 10 in the morning. We all learned that you should buy tickets before hand and not wait to buy them because some places with tickets would be closed. Almost everything is closed on Sundays. The train ride knocked almost everyone to sleep; especially considering the fact that we just woke up a bit before.
It took us about an hour and a half to get there. Perugia is where our Italian professor is from. There happened to be a market on the day we were going. There were vendors covering the main street selling from balloons to purses to food. Luckily Prof.ssa Chiara gave us brochures and maps beforehand so that we pretty much knew where we were going and how we would get there.
Hannah and I wandered off finding a place to eat. We were surrounded by American tourists everywhere. It got really annoying to actually hear the fact that according to Mr. John Rose, Americans say “like” way too much. We got fed up and left.
We start wandering off and looking for places and stores to go to; but everything was closed. We got lost many times and ended up in weird alleys with sketchy men. Luckily we left early with the rest of the ragazze and came home on the early train.
The one thing that we would all love to come back for would be the European Chocolate Festival in late October.
We came back, did homework, walked around, and now are about to watch Dark Knight. Buonasera!
