Perugia, Awesome!!!...Deruta, Good Question?

Well, to catch everyone up with what is going on in my life I will start with a little bit about last week. It was basically a normal week...except we learned about what we should do for our Arts quiz and about our journals. We also went to Assisi this past week which was really nice! Big town, which we learned that they were thinking about doing some major renovation this semester at Santa Chiara so we would have been staying at a hotel in Assisi almost.

This weekend was so much fun!! So everyone knows, you can defiantly do Perugia in one day

just don't plan on going to Deruta...because it is a one town deserted train station. Perugia is beautiful though! Great place to go for a day but that is about it because you can walk and see everything you would need to see in one day.

If you decide to stay over night don't be surprised if randomly the street is filled from sidewalk to sidewalk with people! It was defiantly jammed packed last night and none of us know why! lol

I will say there is a lot of great shopping and food in Perugia!! I had the BEST BEST!! Lasagna I have ever!! Sorry family...but this Lasagna was better then anything yall have cooked!! So good!!!

It was at a nice little like mom and pop restaurant in a back ally. Which if you want cheap, great, amazing and true Italian food! You go to the back alleys and you will find the best places to eat! :)

We also found some great pizza in Perugia...but I don't know if you can really mess up any pizza in Italy...it will just not be as great as that one place you find. lol We did lost of going into all the shops and looking at the clothes. We took two breaks at this wonderful and amazing Cafe in Perugia where we all got coffee, or hot chocolate, and then me I got a latte. Which then the next night we went back to get crepes with nutella! Best thing every! Along with Gelato!!! SO GOOD!!

This pic is of me at the Deruta train station...that was literally out in the middle of know where...we got off the train and it was the train station and nothing else. So we turned around and the train was gone...luckily there was another train going in the Direction back to Perugia coming by in like 40 min...so we took pictures and sat at the train station wondering if we would make it back. lol Then as time went on we started coming up with plans in case the train didn't stop because the Deruta station is like a stop only on request station. Luckily their was a number for a taxi service on the train station door. So if we got desperate enough we would just call the service and get us back to Perugia...not really worrying about cost because we figured getting back to a place we know is more important then the cost of staying in a train station over night. lol

Once we got on the train back to Perugia...we realized that we didn't really have a valid ticket...lol so a littled worried we just got on the train because the fine of no ticket looked a lot better then not getting back. Luckily the train person said something in Italian...which from what we understood, he assumed we had connecting train/already have had our ticket checked/validated so...we were good. We immedtialy got off at the Perugia PSG train station because sense we didn't have a valid ticket we wanted to get one. We found a train leaving in like 20 min going back to Perugia, well as we boarded the train and were on our way, Michelle P realized we were going in the wrong direction. Well we ended back in Assisi...the place we went to last Wednesday. So we immediately got off there because we didn't want to go any further. At this time we felt a little more at ease, I know I know...we aren't in the right spot. Except we are at a trainitalia station...oooo the train we had to take to Deruta was not a trainitalia...some weird like FCU thing...word of advice don't take it! It makes no sense!! lol

So we were in Assisi, we were about to find a train that left in 1 hour back to Perugia...so we felt much better! We finally got back to Perugia like at 1700, which we were so glad to be back to a place we knew. lol We had originally planned to go to this Mexican food restaurant that Michelle had found in Perugia, sense that was one of the main reasons we went to Perugia was to get Mexican food. Well after looking for it and finding out it was in the geto of Perugia we decided to just do pizza again that night for dinner.

That is about it for my weekend...seems like a lot when I think about lol

We did plan to go to...

Deruta...fail

Chocolate Factory...fail

Mexican food...fail

We did do Perugia which was a awesome town!! Just nothing you need two days for lol

Till next time!! Ciao!!
