Grazie

In a few days we leave Italy, hoping to return again before too long.  Took another walk on Subasio yesterday.  Was not alone up there, as a sheepherder passed nearby with his flock.

The mountain is covered with wildflowers.

Time to say thanks again to a few people, including Beth at Italia Rail for help in lining up train tickets in advance, to the folks at Pizzeria Otello in Assisi, still our favorite dining place despite some fine new discoveries, to Lucia in Florence for the wonderful apartment and delicious meal...

... to Rosa and Lorenzo in Riomaggiore, for the lovely place to stay in a very beautiful setting...

...and to Laura, Ezio, Georgio and Emma for providing our home away from home in Assisi.  Here's Emma and Laura, dressed for the Calendimaggio celebrations.

A book Ezio co-authored, Guide to Assisi History and Art, is a very special detailed work available in multiple languages for those wishing to gain a deeper knowledge of Assisi.

Hope to share more after returning home.  For now, from a place of peace, 

 Ciao.
