Lesson #43 When someone says "Dress Accordingly" . . .

     You know those times where you look outside and it's a beautiful day, then you get outside and it's freezing? Yah, we had one of those weekends. You see, we thought we would be smart and check the weather which said it was going to be about 70 degrees. Beautiful right? WRONG!!!! Apparently it also said if feels like it's 50 degrees out. Plus wind. COLD!

     We went to Assisi and Perugia last weekend. I have come to the conclusion that Italy is a beautiful country. No matter where you are, the views are amazing and the culture is surrounding you no matter where you go. Assisi is a beautiful historical hill town famous for it's patron saint, San Francesco. They have amazing churches and incredible frescoes that blow your socks off! Unfortunately, I wasn't wearing socks and the wind was really blowing hard! Perugia was even colder, but it was the EuroChocolate festival, so at least there was hot chocolate!

     I guess that the hill towns are colder than Rome, which we kind of spaced out. Our program advisor even sent an email saying dress accordingly! I was wearing  a t-shirt with a light sweater and flip-flops, while the Italians surrounding me were wearing down coats with fur collars, hats, gloves and fluffy boots.

     Lesson #43: When someone says it's going to be cold, don't be an idiot and wear flip-flops. You will freeze.
