Today we went to Perugia (wish is about an hour by bus). The weather was pretty miserable because it was raining and cold. We went to the National Umbria Museum and saw a lot of Medieval, Gothic, and Renaissance artwork. It was hard to sit through Paolo's talking about the artwork because it was so early and the weather was just awful. By the time we got 3/4 of the way through I was just thinking "okay, okay... there's the Virgin Mary holding Jesus in every one of these... can we move on?"
After the museum we went and had pizza, about the only reasonably priced food that you can get without shelling out some serious euro. Of course there was all the fun and laughing to be had as usual with the group that I hang out with. I'm really starting to make good friends here, which makes me happy. As Chris told me before I left, I needed to "play nicely with the other kids," and I am! Hah!
A group of us decided that we are going to go back to Perugia when the weather is better so we don't have a sour taste in our mouths about the place. It was a really nice town and there were some gorgeous view, the weather just killed it today.
We've started making plans for this weekend. I heard someone say they found a Prada outlet store somewhere nearby and that they were going. In one of my books that Catherine got me for Christmas I saw that there is an entire outlet mall near Florence that sells brand name stuff like Dior, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton. It's 10 euro to get there by train and I know I probably won't buy anything because I don't plan on spending lots of money on things I don't need, but why not go and look? It's going to be a great time! :)
The weather here in Castig tonight is pretty gross. It's pouring down rain and it hitting the windows is really loud. I already wrote my paper for LBAR 332 and now I am going to write my timed essay for my A&M grad school interview. Tomorrow I have my interview via Skype. I am really excited, I hope that I can overcome the disadvantage that being out of the country and not actually being able to attend puts me at.
Off to do some writing!
Ciao loves! :)
