So long Perugia bus pass
Heidi and I said “Goodbye” to a dear friend today. Our Perugia bus passes have expired. We did some calculating and it’s cheaper to buy the normal tickets than to renew our passes for the time we have left here in Perugia.
Our passes were a new thing for our team - no one else ever bought one while they lived in Perugia. But our passes gave us a great deal of freedom to explore the city without being afraid of getting stuck somewhere without a ticket. We could ride a bus just to see where it goes for free. They saved us a ton of walking in this city that is built on the side of a hill. It sounds strange, but in a way I’m sad to see our “bus pass” days are over here in Perugia. We no longer need to explore just for cultural-learning’s sake. Perugia has become familiar.
Which I think means it’s time to move to Ancona - a whole new city to explore! And who knows, maybe my new bus pass will have my last name spelled right!

Ancona isn’t as well built as Perugia, “the first of the italian hill towns”.
