Spring has arrived in Perugia!

A whole week-end without rain and with sun!  Perfect weather for a stroll to a viewpoint and then to the Rocco Paolina.  First, of course, a stop at Da Sole for a drink and snack on the terrace with a panoramic view.

In the foreground--a 'torta al testo' a kind of sandwhich popular in Perugia

Then, a nice passegiata to a viewpoint and to the Rocca.

Then, on to Piazza Italia and a triple scoop of gelato.

Spring hasn't arrived everywhere yet....

not yet open for business

But the street vendors and political activists were out in force:

Beppe Grillo's 5 star movement collecting signatures

And the window boxes are blooming.

Then we ended a pleasant afternoon with a skype call with Kelly--she will meet us on Sardegna on May 8!  That will be a great vacation after finishing our language class.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!
