Picnic under the olive trees...
Jean and I had a rather unique lunch experience today in a quaint neighboring town. Pic & Nic...is an event designed to "link all participants to the Trevi land, to the agricultural food production of oil, and to the cultural and artistic potential of the area". Truly a dining adventure, under the olive trees, that I've been anticipating for months (Steve and I are both fighting colds and he chose to sit this one out).
We purchased our "Hobo knapsack" on a stick and meandered the grounds of the 16th century Villa Fabbri. A path was created through the scenic olive grove with food stations serving typical foods of the Umbrian region while big band sounds floated through the air. Grandparents laughed with their nipoti. Young lovers strolled hand-in-hand. Even though it wasn't sunny, and at times the rain fell, everyone seemed to delight in the wonderment of it all.

I looove that "pic & nic" event! So cute! Music, food, nature, and friends, what more could you want?!
Hhmmmm, looks very familar. Sorry you got colds. Red peppers and garlic do the trick for head cold relief. Trust me, I'm a chef.
