Day 15 (4/19) Perugia




After breakfast (around 11 am), the four of us set out to explore Perugia. We took 2 cars since they were to return home from there. The drive yields the most beautiful panoramas of the hilly Italian countryside. Perugia is different from any of the previous cities we have visited in that it is vibrant with young people since it is a university town. Of course, there are ancient buildings and ruins to see…
We said goodbye to our friends and embarked on our drive home just as thunder and lightning started. Twenty minutes later it was hailing and raining so hard that we couldn’t see the road ahead of us (and the road is mountainous and full of serpentines) so we had to stop for 10 minutes until the worst passed. Luckily we made it home to Sigillo safely. We would like to go back to Perugia and spend more time there, but we’d prefer to take the train.
