A Day in Umbria...
 |
| We began the day at Assisi for 10:30 AM mass. |
 |
| When everyone turned to shake hands and say "And Peace be with you", I thought that it was a wonderful sentiment to say to someone! |
 |
| The sights around Assisi are spectacular! |
 |
| We luck out by getting the last table for lunch at Trattoria Pallottia. Our waiter was very patient with our Italian and the food was exceptional. |
 |
| Could we look any happier?! We did get the last table. |
 |
| I have had the best vegetarian dishes here! |
 |
| I found an interesting concert in the borgo of Villanova in the Commune di Marsciano called "Quintetto Saxarco". |
 |
| After being extremely lost in the Umbrian countryside, we arrived happy and enthralled with the beauty of this treasure of a little church in this town of 197 inhabitants. |

| We were all so surprised by the quality of these musicians. The pieces they picked were exceptional. I think my favorite was by the Spanish composer, Pedro Iturralde (1929-). The song of his they played was Pequena Czarda (little dance) . Ave Maria was the only song, sung. At that very moment we were very cognizant of being in Italy. |

'And peace be with you'... they stole that from Star Wars! They must be a fan of the movie. Or was that 'force' hmmm... I will have to check with Freddy. :)
I love that everytime you post pictures of your area there is always something new to see. I especially love the roof top picture.
All I can say is spectacular!
