Spoleto: The Finale,,,

Three days just wasn't long enough. Today was spent saying our goodbyes to Norma and Laurie.

We began with coffee at the Rocca.

Almost seven years ago, on our last night in Spoleto after living there for one year, I wrote this:

Some people pass through our lives leaving barely a mark while others, so unique and truly extraordinary, stay in our hearts forever.  Our hosts, Laurie and Norma are two such people.

The doors they opened for us made this adventure so much richer. Their generosity, hospitality and all around funness made our year exceed any expectations we may have had and our last night in town wasn't any different.  We were treated to dinner at the new 9Cento- a restaurant, coffee shop and wine bar, just steps from our apartment. The owner, Andrea Luzzi, was entertaining and wonderful and it was the perfect spot with the perfect company to end our year here.  What a night!
It is with the heaviest of hearts we leave (again) this amazing couple who have become our Spoleto family...

"How lucky we are to have known someone 
who was so hard to say goodbye to."

Today, I am saying "ditto" to the above sentiment. It was been an amazing three days. We will miss Laurie and Norma terribly.

Tomorrow, we'll be in Lisbon.
