Get on a train and see where it takes you

On Saturday I woke up around 10:30 and showered and cleaned. I went to the bus station to get a bus to the train station. I wanted to catch a train going in a certain directions of small towns. So I waited on the bus for 15 minutes before it left, and I thought I was going to miss my train. It was suppose to leave at 12:14 and I got to the train station at 12:13. I didn’t have time to buy a ticket and it was only going to be 2.50 Euro and they usually don’t check your tickets, so I just sprinted to the train and hopped on literally as it was pulling away. As luck would have it, I saw the ticket checker five minutes into the ride. And I did a bad thing, I lied. He came around and I held out my money acting like I could buy a ticket on the train, which I don’t think they really let you do. He asked me in Italian if I had my ticket, and I played dumb (not too hard for me I know!) and pretended like I didn’t know what he was saying. He said it again, and I asked if he spoke English, he said no! Fhew! So anyway he asked in Italian where I was going, I waited till he asked again and then said Spello. He gave me a dirty look and kept going. Oops! So anyway I made it to Spello and followed the signs to the center, and of course it was at the top of a VERY long and steep hill. I took some pictures for photography and spent an hour or two walking around. It was really nice. Then I went back to the train station and took a train back to Perugia. I went to the computer lab and did a little homework and then I went to the photo lab to develop my film!
