Perugia, Printmaking and New Experiences with Coffee

This past week as been spent traveling to Perugia, Deruda, and working on our printmaking class. Here are some shots that have come of it all. (Deruda is still to come).

The bus stop to Perugia. More or less should be called the bus post, there's not much to signify a stop apart from that. 

After ordering what he thought was a caffe Americano, we discovered that caffe was straight shot of espresso and no dilution. Same kick as coffee just concentrated.

Villa Pieve and Euro Chocolate Fest

We have arrived at the villa where we will be for the next 6 weeks or so. We are surrounded by vineyards and a wonderful rolling landscape. Enjoy...

Above is an example of the tropicale fiori that we found up the hill from our villa. A local man came out to explain that it was a 'tropicale fiori' and we didn't understand much more than that. So here is what Americans call a passion flower. 

This cappuccino comes from our local kiss kiss bar, a great place to enjoy company... and purchase bus tickets.

Chocolate Kebab! Appetizing to the eye, and very heavy to the stomach... but delicious all the same!
