When in Rome. . .

The not so good weather has caught up with me &/or following me. I had never planned to go into the city (Perugia) while I was in the area. That's why I chose to stay at the hostel called Perugia Farmhouse. The description said it was away from the crowds of the city, it was relaxing and quiet etc., and it was all that, more or less. The group of young Italians enjoyed themselves during their holiday stay. Anyway, my plan had always been to just walk in the countryside on New Year's Day because any place I would want to visit in the city would be closed anyway. My walk in the country wasn't so country except for the gravel lane to and from the hostel itself and it rained the whole time which was only about an hour. I got back before I started getting cold. The rest of the day was spent reading and chatting with some of the other hostelers and a bit of juggling.

This morning it looked as though the weather was going to cooperate again. It was sunny and blue skies. There was just an edge of ice in the puddles and the fields looked all silvery with the frost as I walked to the bus stop. I was able to get a direct train to Rome. Not long into the 3 hour ride, I nodded off. When I woke up it was all cloudy and stuff and that turned to rain as I arrived in Rome and started making my way to the hostel. It's been raining every since so it looks like the notsogood weather is following me. I didn't get in until too late in the day (by my scheduling) to attempt any tourism so I'm crossing my fingers that this is a one day rain here like it was in Perugia and my good weather days will return but considering the kind of days I've had so far, I don't suppose I can be too upset about it if it isn't better tomorrow.
