What to do when winter's got you down, you feel overworked, and summer is just too far away... (though I've heard they've already started swimming in the sea in Sicily, damn them!) ?
Head to the spa! or in my case, the hot springs - they are free! You smell like rotten eggs for 2 days (sulfur), but its definitely the best way to relax and rejuvenate for spring here in Italy...without spending una barca di soldi!!!
My favorite people at the springs: the guy on his cellphone - there is always a cellphone .... the director - I know he's there everyday telling every single person not to put the mud on their faces (the minerals are only present in the water - not the mud - and he doesn't want to here that the mud helps to clean your pours!)... and all of the winter clad onlookers who make you feel like you are in the zoo...
Hiya,
I love your blog. And since I just moved to Perugia less than a month ago, I appreciate all of your great local tips.
If you do have a Thanksgiving Special at your restaurant, you can be sure to find me waiting outside with the others to get my fair share!

Hey, I just found your fantastic blog and have been having a good snoop about. We are in Umbria too near Chiusi and it's great to see your restaurant recommendations. We haven't been over your way yet but hope to this summer so I'll definately stop by at your place. It sounds great. Hope you have better weather than us at the moment the short burst of Spring seems to have retreated. Ciao
