Perugia/Terni with Daddy-o!!

I haven’t updated in a while because I’ve been verrryy busy, so you will be getting a lot of updates all at once!

So two Thursdays ago, my dad came to visit me!!! It was really exciting and great to see/ spend time with him! We went to dinner at this all-organic place in Perugia on Thursday night….it was delicious! (and of course the conversation was great!) Then Friday morning we walked around all of Perugia- I showed him my school buildings, went into some of the churches, walked down some of the main streets….it was really nice to be a tour guide for the first time since I’ve been here! Then we decided to take an afternoon train to Terni (so that my dad wouldn’t have to travel sooo far to Rome for his flight out the next morning).

Terni was a nice city, but it did really make me appreciate Perugia. It was not as social, a lot quieter, and definitely more industrial. There really wasn’t any ‘views’ to see, and the duomo was closed so we couldn’t go in L. (the outside was beautiful- you can see above) There was a very interesting statue, though right outside the train station- it reminds me of a transformer….what do you think?

All in all, it was great to see my dad and talk to some of my family members on the phone. I miss you guys!

Hi Rae,

I am enjoying your blogs, you are right, you sound like a writer. Could this be a another career to consider?
