Our last day in the Olive Trees... La Raccolta!
I feel we look like little italiani in the first photo. I guess that's what two months in Umbria does to you!
We spent a beautiful, sunny-at-times day at Eve's helping with the last of her olive harvest. She will take them all to be pressed on Monday. Each time we helped la raccolta, Steve or I would ask each other, "Did you ever think you would be standing here, in Italy, picking olives?" We have loved every minute of it: the hard work, the warm sunshine, the delicious lunches on the terrace and the interesting stories Eve would share with us.
