Umbria Trip!




So Friday all of the roomies; except Amanda, all got up early to head to LDM. There we had to wait an hour before we could leave, and we were already there early which kinda sucks. Turned out that all public transportation had gone on strike! Thankfully, we had gotten on the bus before the strike started. We had a nice tour bus waiting to take us to Umbria!

Once we arrived in the Umbria region, we went to an Olive Oil house, we were able to watch a machine make the wonderful stuff and best of all, we were able to get free samples of the freshly pressed olive oil on some nice toasted bread! Very delicious! Everyone pitched in some money andwe bought a group thing of fresh olive oil and then everyone went and bought some of there own! They actually sale the olive oil to the USA but we got it for a price that was WAY cheaper than you would think.

After that adventure, we went to this lovely little house in the Assisi. It was wonderful, the first thing we noticed when we came out of the bus was that there were animals there! These cute little doggies came running up to us and it was amazing! Going down the slope to the enterance of the place there were more animals! A cute lil piggy and several more dogs and cats as well! It was truly heaven for us animal lovers. The fun didn't stop there though, when we sat down for our lunch, we were given so much food! and all it was amazing!
