New friends as our year ends...
On Friday, while strolling a side street in town, a woman on a bicycle stopped us and introduced herself. Betty and her husband, Bob are two Americans who have lived in Spoleto for two years and were were told by our friend, Francesca, "You really should meet Denise and Steve".
We knew of this very interesting couple and never had the chance to meet...until the week before our year was coming to an end. How ironic. The story of their life was mesmerizing...Peace Corps adventures, Africa, Croatia and now Spoleto.
Tonight we drank Prosecco (a dry, sparkling Italian wine) on their 400 year old terrace overlooking the mottled, ancient roof tops. After hours and a sunset we said our goodbyes but we will meet again in California. Bob's mom lives just a few miles from us and we promised to pick them up at the airport when they come for a visit in January. It is so fun to know it isn't goodbye but really just ciao for now!

I look forward to emailing this couple (if it works out!). I would like to hear about their Peace Corps experience. Then you will find Fred and I mesmerizing? Hahaha.
I thought the terrace looked different... your terrace was probably jealous. :)
