More Nooks or More Crannies?

Yesterday despite the threat of rain a large group of Umbra students went on a traipse around the city. While not academic in nature, the tour wasn’t just to point out panoramas and good restaurants. Umbra staff member Zach Nowak lead the tour, an almost goofy collection of tales (true and otherwise) about Perugia. Students heard stories such as “The Salt War” (or, Why The Bread Here Is Horrible), “The Orphans of Via Alunni,” and “The Aqueduct That Brought More Debts Than Water.” The tour will be repeated in a few weeks for any other interested students.
