We made it to the Villa! Villa Pieve is gorgeous. It’s set in a beautiful Italian countryside next to the small town of Corciano, and a short bus ride away from the larger city of Perugia.  Everything is green, and the air has a “mountain” sort of smell, very natural and very refreshing.  Jase, Maggie, Johan, and I ran up the hill to Corciano tonight.  The scenery was beautiful; we ran by vineyards, bamboo, apple trees and several Italian homes.  After the craziness of Rome and Florence, I am so excited to be in a much more natural, slower paced environment!



It feels wonderful to be settled and actually unpack our suitcases.  Ashley, Meg, and I are in room 302; we have three twin beds, a large bathroom, a T.V., and some small furniture in our room. My favorite part of the room is our ceiling- it is all dark wood, with large supports going across. The biggest difference from a room in America is probably the bathroom.  Attempting to figure out how to flush the toilet proved difficult, and apparently we were given the handicapped room because our bidet consists of a hose with handles coming out of the wall (we chose not to use ours). So far, the Internet works great, which is a nice change from our room in Florence.
