Finally Getting Out...



February 19, 2012

So, I’ve been sick for over a week now, can’t seem to shake this thing.  I always seem to forget when the kids go to school they usually bring something home and I get sick…   The kids had it for a bit, but they don’t seem to be bothered by it, gone in a day or two.  Now David has it now too, so at least I have company.  It kept us inside for quite a while, but since the sun decided to shine on Friday, we decided to make a break for it and get outside. 



We headed to the Piazza Italia because there is free WIFI there.  We pay for internet at the apartment.  At $30 a month, we only get 3 gig a month.  That goes really quickly, and it isn’t wireless.  So, we head up to the piazza to download books to the kindle and try to do things that take up a ton of bandwidth.  It is still really cold outside as you can see by the fountain in front of David that is frozen solid.  However, the sun feels fabulous after being stuck indoors for awhile.



While the kids were in school, we explored some of the backstreets (always loads of steps, which I have begun to love… I know, shocking)  We stumbled upon a Falafel/Kebab place and just had to try it.  It was phenomenal J  We took our lunch up to the Piazza IV Novembre and sat on the steps to eat in front of the fountain.  The sun was so warm there that we spent an hour and a half just soaking it up before we had to go pick the kids up from school.



After school we took the kids on a panoramic walk of the historical part of the city.  We actually ended up walking completely around the city and the views were amazing. 











Of course we had to stop for an afternoon snack.  This little place is supposed to have the best gelato in Perugia. 




We had some even though we were sick.   It is no wonder we aren’t getting over this thing… gotta stop the sugar intake… But, it was oh so good J
