This trip to Italy, rather unplanned and unexpected, is different from all others. My weekdays are filled with what seems to me day to day activities (at least day to day activites of non working folks) get up, chit chat with the neighbors, go for a walk, go to the market, watch the soccer game, read, etc, etc. 

But I imagine that during the weekend people hop on the train and go somewhere. If they don't, well they should! I did and today my travels brought me to Perugia.A 2:30 min train ride from Roma Termini, then a short bus ride from the train station to Piazza Italia in the city center. Once in the center you are greeted with gorgeous views of the Umbrian hills and valleys, beautiful piazzas and historic reminders dating back to the Etruscans.
