Perugia

Today was a good day in Perugia. I found a little park area that looked over the whole south side of Perugia and it was so beautiful. I had no idea how high up we were compared to the rest of the city. The part of the city I am in is known as the old city. It has all very old buildings with very curvy paths they called roads. And the old city sits on top of a very large hill and you can over look everything. You can see the Umbrian country side with the rolling hills and mountain peaks in the back ground. Straight out of a painting. I spent the whole day just walking around looking in shops. Got a piece of pizza, soo good. Sat around at the piazza again, today it was a warmer and the sun was out so it was a more enjoyable experience. I am able to get around to places now without a map and I can walk to school from my apartment (that I am not in yet) no problem. Now I just have to learn the short cuts. I gave up trying to find a way there downhill and a way back downhill. So I looked for the most flat pathway possible. Still will be panting when I get to school and come home. The city is awesome. There is one main road in the older part of the city and today I stood and watched a guy draw a woman’s face on the ground with chalk. It was sweet. I had nothing else to do. I get kicked out of the hostel for about 4-5 hours every so I have to make sure I have stuff to do for that long. And I am running out of places to walk and stuff to do. I don’t know what I am going to do if it rains… I don’t even want to think about it. Oh well. It was a much better day than my first in Perugia. I am staying in a room with a boy from Turkey he and his friend, who is a girl but the girls and boys are separated in this hostel, are looking for a place to live for a month here in Perugia so they have been looking all over. He likes me, I let him use my headache medicine and gave him some peanuts and skittles. Him and his friend seems to like that. He is a nice boy, he is a juggler and hopes to find a room here in Perugia with the juggling crowd ( I haven’t seen any jugglers here yet). I like it here better than Roma, a lot let chaotic and a lot more young people. I hear a lot of people speaking English here and I am sure they are students at the University for Foreigners; they seem to be having a good time so I hope my experience will be the same!
