Chica chica what?

Okay so maybe tomorrow we will have pictures. We will try very hard to do so and we FINALLY have free internet!!!! Unfortunately, we have no food. Literally everything in Perugia is closed for the weekend. Tonight we scrounged on pasta left by past guests and beer. It was very modest but fun all the same. AJ is starving and has had to move his belt one notch smaller since the trip started but somehow doesn't seem to mind when in the presence of duomo's and museum's that take one's breath away.
Things open tomorrow so we can shop again which is very nice and breakfast, with eggs, is included so we will surely be in very high spirits as we explore the countryside of the infamous Tuscany region. It is famous for chianti wines, which we have explored, and exceptional views of beautiful rolling landscapes. We have a pool at the hostel which is perfect for cooling off during the day or at night!
The heat is quite extraordinary and hard to describe other than to name it unreal! Even when we walk in the shade it is well over 90 degrees! The humidity comes and goes but still we struggle on! It is all a wonderful journey and we really do enjoy every moment of it regardless of the hardships we encounter.
The plan is, when we get back, to put a sort of slideshow together and show family and friends what we did and where we've been so everyone can appreciate our trip. We have taken several thousands of pictures so it will be hard to sift through and I am sure we will take a ton more in Rome and along the amalfi coast. We had to buy a new memory card for the camera to house all the pics but it is totally worth it!
From us in the heart of Umbria,
AJ and Erika

  1. I think you need to splurge on a decent meal - that or buy some beef jerky to keep on hand! I hope you ate a lot of eggs this morning and enjoyed them. I can't wait to see some more pictures of Tuscany. The movie, "Under the Tuscan Sun", was so beautiful that I figure you're going to love the countryside. Just don't go buying a villa to renovate! Have fun today. Love, Mom (Geraghty)
