I would never wish to live in Rome for absence of this thing – the snow. I asked one receptionist on winter in the last thirty years. He said that it was four times. I left the hotel after having breakfast. A train was going to come in less two hours and drove me to the north. Terni was beginning in towns of Umbria. Termini is a head station in Rome hadn’t special hall for awaiting. People chose ground handrails between shops, as I did it for some time, and you can take sit on the third floor with cafes and fast food ventures or the tall sits at the windows, which were stuck to places and one of whose I took for going into philosophizing about “all that drivel”.
And it was obsolete that no voice and no screen make announcing of stops. I was should to use an old in decades thing by watching from a window with hope to catch a title of a station.
I didn’t leave Terni behind. I began with buying of a ticket on Assisi on tomorrow. Later I saw it didn’t print the time of departure. What a wonderful country! However, it was in remembering.
Parallel to ticket windows was a large stall was selling variable magazines. There could buy a town’s map as I did it.
I moved to reserved room in an apartment building. Terni hadn’t much of past centuries, but those contemporary buildings was that experience of Italy, which is not only in the hot tub. A little town with their ambience of calmness, living activity of it’s citizens and mystery, which probably can be as I imagined on residence of secret society.
Destination point had almost a straight road, but I was checking a map and once turned left. Movement brought to a fountain, which shouldn’t be on a map. “I paid six euro and this map must work” was mine solid verdict. I saw a title of a street and found in the map where I understood that I belong to The Three Stooges who each of them has own “right direction”. I did reverse since it I had no mistakes.
It expected that English isn’t popular in little towns. Both, me and a receptionist, used combination of English and Italian, but she used more of the last then me. We could understand each other.
I left my staff in the room and walked to amphitheater situated nearby in old, but not so far, part of the town. I was witnessing for activity of living people. Memorable was looking on mostly on the kids who on ice skates had riding on small rink. One girl stayed at a corner for picking up and throwing high a snow.
I again did The Three Stooges with side to the amphitheater. It was secured by fence when I saw it, and I made walking to find from where I can enter in place hasn’t unusual background and which in simple facts: it was built in 32 BC and can fit ten thousand people when today it still uses for concerts. The amphitheater had closed entrance. I, as always, did movement around, which became impossible due to it was covered by prolong fences from where I situated in usual park.
I arrived to Terni for visit Carsulae, the ruins of Roman ancient town. The receptionist said that I can take bus from train station to where I came. Ticket offices were closed and magazine shop was only operable. The salesman who sold me map hadn’t good English as no knowledge of this language was from a man who sold me a sandwich for lunch, which I had with bought in machine lemon ice tea, on my movement to the train station. She doesn’t know when it, as any bus, will arrive. Why I never saw these details in TV programs? I eventually paid for a card on a bus.
Awaiting was on special remote station populated of weird people with their face and cloth looks, habits and obsessions. I did observing to the left, checking inside of returned to the main station for check a clock two times where I saw that the stall pull down the shutters and after hour I lost faith by deciding to walk to the apartment building by seeing twelve cars from the north, as I decided, which were too soon.
I wanted to ask the receptionist on Wi-Fi. She was gone what revealed reason was in time of working had blank space between 13.00 to 15.00. The receptionist still wasn’t at a desk at 15.25. I feel how my love to this country is getting bigger and bigger. A small time later I heard activity, which I was going reveal. My attention took a little board. I picked it up and knew network and password for Wi-Fi.
Meantime in the United States of America came upon a winter storm few days ago. It’s madness and I unhappy to read on tragedies when I would like to be there.
