Day 16 (4/20) around Sigillo

We had expected visitors from the Czech Republic to arrive in the evening. But in the morning we got a call and they stated that they had driven all night and would arrive in two hours. After breakfast while our friends were taking a nap, we went to Fossato di Vico to see if there was train to Perugia. There is no direct train. We then drove to Gualdo Tadino. It is a pretty city on the hillside (like every other city new have visited except Sigillo). They have a big regional museum in a 12th century fortress called Rocca Flea and an a large Museum of Emigration in a medieval Palazzo del Podesta, which we saw from the outside only. It sounds amazing from the description so maybe we’ll go back to see it. Back in Sigillo, after it stopped pouring we went on a walking tour with Lucy and Reni and visited the impressive cemetery with many large family crypts that looked almost like little houses. We also knocked on doors of all the Sigillo churches (they were all closed) in search of some frescoes that were supposed to be in one of them.
