I can't figure out how to post pictures the way I want to. I'm doing the best I can! At right: View of the lower half of Perugia from one of the Piazzas. There are little piazzas everywhere. This one just so happens to overlook the edge of the old part of Perugia, which is where I live and where the classrooms are. It is also very very very very very very hilly. Those are my roommates standing on the road just outside our apartment. That is a baby hill. I'm serious. I know why Italians don't gain weight even after eating pasta and bread all day long- they have some really huge hills to climb!








This a view from our terrace, and the last two pictures are of the main Piazza, Piazza Novembre. It is actually prettier than the picture makes it look, and there are always a lot of people walking around in it. I saw a live Nativity scene performed here the other day! Camels, donkeys, the whole thing! The building behind the fountain is a humongous gothic duomo. Really pretty inside.










I'm seeing so many new things each day. I walk by the same stores and buildings a million times to get to different places, and each time I'm noticing something new. It's great, I really love it here.
