The Bidet

Second full day in Perugia. Last night I met some guys from Wabash; we bonded with the whole Indiana thing. But today we had a full Umbra meeting - met most of the people who work at the school and then had a talk with a police officer about crime in Italy. My roommates and I have been eating as much pizza as possible. Its so delicious. I have yet to get gelato though. Yesterday I was going to but then it got cold all of a sudden. Julie, Erica, Jeanette, and I took a walk, looking for supposedly free clothes hangers, took us to some gorgeous views and some escalators in an old castle/fortress. Tomorrow morning we have our Italian language exam at 9am, but we have to met at the main fountain in Piazza IV Novembre at 7:45am! Not looking forward to that - tonight I'm going to be studying as much Italian as possible. On Sundays, a lot of stores are closed but a tobaccio (place to buy cigarettes, stamps, phone cards, etc) was open near our apartment so we stopped to get postcards and phone cards. The old lady working there seemed to really like us - we have made a friend! We have found a new use for our bidet! Its a perfect PERFECT place to shave legs. I mean perfect. Just the right amount of water and everything.
