I arrived this evening just in time to witness Viterbo with a makeover! Flowers lined the streets of the usual grey medieval area for San Pellegrino In Fiore. (It’s kind of like a celebration of spring when flowers are put out and many are for sale) Vendors were set up, people were out and about and many shops were open! This is very rare for a Sunday here. (Usually the town shuts down on Sundays). I grabbed my camera and took a walk inside the walls. After getting gelato from my favorite place I walked through the crowd and took in all the color as the sun was setting.
I ended up at the Papal Palace were the crowds were congregating. I found out that there was to be a fireworks show…so instead of returning to my room to study for finals, I stayed for the fireworks! And they were amazing! It was such a great way to spend my last Sunday evening here. I’m going to miss this enchanting place!
