My thoughts

Perugia is a small city in the heart of Italy with love for jazz and chocolate. It is a very quiet town with a magnificent view that you can not get in any metropolitan cities. You may ask why I am going on and on about a small city, well the answer is obvious; I went there. My first trip to Europe landed me in Perugia. Everything that could go wrong went wrong,. The food on the plane was horrible . I almost had food poisoning. I almost missed my flight because the wrong gate was printed on my boarding pass. So there I am a black woman running like a headless chicken in Frankfurt International Airport. I missed my train. I had not eaten for one full day and not eating properly makes me cranky to say the least. I arrived at Perugia and had a good time. Although it was an academic conference I made sure I enjoyed all the sunshine I could get because I was returning back to cold cold winter.

If I have to chose a favorite season, Autumn would be my best season. The leaves falling, the weather sunny but not too hot, the calm and serene environment reminds me so much of home. Pity Autumn is the shortest weather over here. So I will enjoy it as much as I can.
