Day 20 June 2012

It was a sunny day, so we did some laundry for our upcoming trip to Milan.  We stopped in Montegabbioni at their Cathedral, then went to Castel di Fiori for their floral festival.

Later in the evening, we went to "pizza night" again!  Yum!!!

Day 19 June 2012

We decided to go up to Citta della Pieve to see the Saturday market.  We saw a few things, but never found the main market.  They are having an arts festival this weekend, so the market may not have been scheduled.  I took some pictures going up there.  The area is devine.

Today we went to Panicale.  We had been there before, but enjoyed another visit.  We then went to Castiglione del Lago for another visit and had a lovely dinner.  We bought a chunk of pecorino cheese to bring home.

Today we went to a magnificent sculpture garden called Sacro Bosco Bomarzo started in 1552.  Then we ate at our favorite restaurant in Carnaiola.  Our waitress was from Cuba, so I was able to order in Spanish...what a relief to be understood!  Ha!

Day 16 May 2012

Today, we did laundry and had a bit of a laid-back day.  We went to the town of Piegaro and found a lovely place for dinner.  Then, we returned to a dessert of fresh strawberries that I had picked from the garden.
