Under the big shade tree at the camper-stop
|
Perugia is a major chocolate center and we were parked just
below the Etruscan ChocoHotel
|
Practically the whole lobby is a showroom of all things
chocolate; well, maybe not all things, but many things you'd
not imagine in chocolate
|
Including a tub of chocolate ore; and, not pictured, chocolate
beer |
We did take a bus to the up-town to see the piazza (reputedly
one of the best in Italy); above, one of the older buildings now
housing several museums (which we skipped)
|
The piazza and duomo
|
The griffin is Perugia's emblem, the lion is the Guelphs (or
possibly the Ghibellines; I forget)
|
The Fontana Maggiore, in the piazza
|
Very popular with pigeons
|
Interior of the duomo
|
In one of the odder religious representations I
have seen, Jesus looks on from his window
high on the duomo
|
Cat housing; on the street near a residence in Perugia; but not
on the residence
