Lost in Umbria...
me·an·der[mee-an-der]: -verbto wander aimlessly; ramble: Steve and Denise meandered through the Umbrian countryside.
Our path took us to the Castello di Campello Alto which is interesting for its history, dating back to Rovero di Champeaux, the Burgundian knight who wanted to build it in 9th – 10th centuries. Through a grand gateway, we meandered its medieval walled core, gazing at its "time frozen still" architecture and complete desolate cobblestone streets. We then headed into the interior of the forests surrounding Spoleto. Each turn afforded us different, equally stunning in their harshness, winter views. We were snowed upon and felt lost but the sights were amazing and it was an excellent 'road less taken'.

I can't wait to get 'lost in Umbria'! So gorgeous...and so many little areas to explore!
Wow, I love that picture of the castle--Spoleto, I'm assuming--on top of the hill. It looks like a blast!
Great place to be lost for sure!
