• Rest day in Rieti

    October 26, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We planned a rest day in Rieti, so we took the day to wander around town. I think we both expected more, but it's hard to be fair because we've been to a lot of charming tiny towns and getting into larger cities is a bit jarring, especially when we think it's going to have more charm.

    Rieti is home to the "navel of Italy", what's said to be the center of Italy since it's mid point between east, west, north, and south. The central square and cathedral are interesting, and the river walk is pleasant.

    Unfortunately, our accommodation was right above the bar all the college age kids hang out at, so earplugs were required to sleep 🥱

    All that said, we enjoyed the down time and fully took to relaxing on our day off, even opting to cook in rather than eat out. Tomorrow on to Poggio San Lorenzo!
