I got really lucky with the weather today. It rained this morning, but by midday the sun came out and it was beautiful-made for a wonderful day in Assisi. The bus from the train station was very easy (unlike Spoleto), probably because it sees far more ... Read more >

There was a little market in one of the piazzas this morning, I wasn't going to buy anything b/c I'd have to carry it around all day, but I couldn't resist a gorgeous loaf of bread and some fall apples. I also watched some sort of religious procession-... Read more >

A week in Italy had it all - wine, food, ruins, scary cliff top roads.

I am in love with Perugia. Even on a rainy day, I just wanted to wander the streets and explore all the little alleys and stairways. It is just so beautiful and alluring. It's a maze, with hills and stairs and alleys and archways and bridges and escalators, ... Read more >

Oh my goodness, it is chilly in Perugia! And of course I didn't pack anything warm. Tough to do a 7 week trip with only a backpack worth of stuff. I figured out how to get a bus to Gubbio today, so that is my destination. I really want to go to Assisi ... Read more >

Well that was confusing. I took a train from Firenze to Terontola to transfer for a train to Perugia, since there were no direct lines. Got off the train @ Terontola, only to get back on the same train to go to Perugia. Now to figure out how to get ... Read more >

I found another wonderful market today. Took the train to Poggibonsi to catch a bus to San Gimignano, but got distracted when I got off the train because of the multiple vendors & outdoor market across the station. All the produce looked amazing, ... Read more >

I tackled the post office this morning. I was super nervous about it but I just have too many things to carry around for 4 more weeks. I got a ticket, went to one window and was told I needed to buy a box, bought the biggest box and packed all my stuff ... Read more >

It rained almost all day today. I crossed the Ponte Vecchio this morning to get to the Palazzo Pitti and met Geri there. We walked around the Boboli gardens (not as lush as I imagined them to be) and looked at the costume museum. She left to go buy ... Read more >
