The past week has been dedicated solely to Italian. We went to class for around 5 hours a day for four days and spoke Italian the whole time. It was a little mentally draining, but it definitely helped me to get back up to speed since I haven't taken Italian in well over a year. The teacher was very friendly and really helpful, even if he just keeps talking in Italian to explain grammar or vocab that you don't understand. During one of our classes, he took us on the MiniMetro, which is a bizarrely modern miniature subway system running from the center of Perugia to its outskirts, to a larger and cheaper grocery store than the ones here in the city center.
Today, Erin and I took the MiniMetro to the sixth stop, the very last one on the MiniMetro, to go to the huge outdoor market that takes place near the soccer stadium every Saturday morning. When we got there, we were a little surprised as it was a bit more chaotic and disorganized than we had imagined. They had everything from fruits and vegetables to clothes and toothbrushes all arranged on large tables. We ended up leaving pretty quickly as the produce didn't seem to be in very good condition and it wasn't that much cheaper than from the nearby grocery store. We hopped back on the MiniMetro and headed to the grocery store our Italian teacher had taken us to.
