@Update 4 - May and June, many events plus exams

Good morning, or as they say in Australia ''G'day !''

I'm not in Australia right now, just saying ! 

More than a month has passed since when I published something. 

May is one of the busiest month of my year; the lessons' end coincides with the medieval festival in my city (that we won this year, for the 3rd consecutive time) and many other local events. For example, this weekend there's going to be ''Cantine Aperte'' (Open Wineries): you pay something like 10euros for the transport, usually a small bus, so that you're completely sure that the driver (who's not one of your friends) won't surely get drunk. Than, when you arrive, you need to pay 5euro for the glass of the even, that you can refill as many times as you please, throughout the day. Unluckily, this same weekend, there's going to be the election of the new region's president. I was selected to work at the polling station, where I'll spend Saturday afternoon and the whole Sunday...obviously sober ahah.

At the beginning of June there's the first part of the summer exam session, than every school's theater goups is going to performa  certain play, every sports club will perform a final exhibition and so on. I'll try to take part to as many events as possible, but in the meantime, I'll have to study. 

There are so many things to write about that I lost count and that I didn't really wanted to describe that much. I preferred to live the moment, enjoy the experience and not constantly think about pictures to upload on the blog to show you, and other things. I realized that I enjoy writing in order to create a sort of journal, something that I'll update whenever I have something that is truly worth describing. 

I said everything and nothing in this post, hopefully I'll soon update, but I'm not sure. Living summer as it comes :) Have a nice weekend !

Walking under rain and snow

Hello everyone !

Yesterday was quite an awesome evening ! Although it only was Wednesday, I went to bed at almost 5am (things that I obviously don't usually do). This happened because, every week, there's an event in Perugia, at the 110 café, which is the central café for the biggest part of the universities here. It is called the ''Wednesday Rock'' and half of the evening there's a band playing on the main stage, followed by the DJ set with different kind of music. I went there for the first time, and I can't wait for next week to be back again !

Anyway, today I want to share with you some pictures I took last Saturday and Sunday. Differently from my average weekend routine, on the 31st I left at 3pm with my scout group, and we went by train to Spoleto, a city in my region, not too far from where I live but that I've never really visited. When I was a gymnast I used to have a couple of competitions every year in the local sports hall, but that was it. Half day in the gym and than back to Assisi. 

When we arrived it immediately started raining. Covering ourselves and our backpacks as much as we could, we started walking on the Spoleto - Norcia. It's a really nice path because it is an old railroad who connected the two cities above. I had the occasion to walk half of it a couple of time, but on Saturday we decided to leave the path because we thought it was time to, in order to change path and take the one that was going to lead us to Campello, the small and lovely city where we already called and ''booked'' a room. When I say a room, a literally mean a room, not a proper bedroom. We only need a roof and, if it's possible, something that will warm us up during winter time. 

Truth is that we didn't have to leave the Spoleto-Norcia railroad, or at least not on the point in which we did. At 6.30pm was still raining, was dark and we arrived in Eggi (another lovely small village). We luckily found another room there and we decided to have dinner and sleep there, and to arrive in Campello the day after, although this meant that we were going to do +7km the day after. And so we did, waking up at 5.30am.

On sunday morning it was raining again, but around 8am it started snowing. Although to walk with snow it's quite complex and it's colder...it was totally worth it. 

We arrived in Campello, had lunch and the possibility to dry our clothes and warm up a little bit. Than we left again and walked without pause, and at 7pm we reached Trevi, our final destination.

Sorry for the poor quality of the picture, but I forgot my Canon at home, so I could only use my phone to take. pictures. Hope you liked this blog post and, for those of you who like walking and who may have the possibility to come around my area, I highly recommend you the ''Sentiero degli Ulivi'' (The path of olives - literally) and the Spoleto-Norcia old railroad. Have a nice weekend !
