Hello Everyone! I am sorry that I haven’t posted in so long…I was in Umbria, Italy, for a delightful week. I spent the last week recovering from Covid. I guess I got it on the long plane trip and lengthy layovers returning home. All is well now. The food, scenery, people and sights were out of this world!
I was with a group of nine people. We stayed together in an incredible villa out in the country. The tiny village was surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, and lovely Italian gardens. It felt like we were in a foreign film.
I was able to take long walks in the mornings, before it got too hot. This restaurant was just a five minute jaunt from our bed and breakfast. They served us delightful lunches and dinners, as well. The food was perfect and incredibly colorful and fresh.
What an inspiring time and place! How have you been? I plan to catch up on all your blogs this week. I hope you are enjoying your summer and look forward to hearing from you.

ReplyDeleteOh, thank you, Tracy. It hit my first night home. At least I was able to enjoy the entire week there.
DeleteIt sounds like a wonderful trip. I am glad to hear you are fully recovered from Covid.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nil. It's still with us. Ginger, garlic and lemon tea helped to move it along for me. Planes have a lot of germs, and it was a very long flight home.
DeleteWhat a lovely place. It amazes me how such simple ingredients can be blended together to make wonderful, tasty meals. Looking forward to more pictures and stories about your trip. Evil COVID.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, Yes, their delicious cooking is based on freshness, what is in season, local ingredients from the winery and cooking school, and talent. They put so much pride and time into meal preparation and presentation.
