On Monday, June 29, we visited Perugia, an Etruscan City. The bus let us off at a plaza 1/2 way to the top of the city where we had to take a series of escalators to the summit. The last leg of the escalators were in underground part of the old city, the prisons. The beginning of the photos show this.
We were hosted by the Universita' per Stranieri - University for Foreigners. Students from 140 countries come here to study and learn Italian. (More countries than those that participate in the Olympics.)
The photos are of the old city, the old walls, the buildings, it is absolutely charming. I would have liked to stay more and explore.
That is so beautiful. Too bad about the prisons, though. I would like to be one of the students learning Italian. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I was there. I'm jealous of the sunshine. You are lucky to be there this month, especially. It has been the 2nd dreariest June on record back home.
