So enjoyed this today as I have a soft spot in my heart for Perugia❤️

Went to school there for 6 weeks many years ago to learn Italian while finishing my degree in the USA. Love that city, think I am due another visit back soon

So happy to hear that Aria's surgery went well. Those collars are not fun. Hope the kitty doesn't tease Aria!

"It's not awful." I love that line, the intrepid approach of someone who understands and accepts that much is out of their control and they can either adapt or tear their hair. My standard is, "That doesn't suck." Very similar, with a slightly broader usage. 🤗

We lived in Avellino which is a little south and east of Caserta while I was working in Napoli. So for us, it was always riposo which is why I keyed in on the difference. Thank you for sharing your life and experiences in Perugia.

I learned a new regionalism - "pausa" is "riposo" in the Campania region. Great description of a "Day in the Life".
