Guest post!

Maggie, Greg and Dottie checking in (sister, her spouse and his mother)...

We had another wonderful, memorable visit to Viterbo. Amy and Warren's new apartment is spacious and well-appointed. Our first day was a little cloudy:

But it cleared the next day and was generally lovely:


We took a ride with Amy to some small towns on and near Lake Bolsena. We stumbled onto a small seafood restaurant on the lake shore. Terrific food and service. Here's their view:


One stop on the way was Pitigliano:


Later we took a two night trip to Spoleto. Here's the view from Menotti's home office:


There was some civic or political event going on that drew media attention:

During that trip we made a side trip to the verey small hill town of Castelluccio, which overlooks a broad, high plain in the Sibillini Mountains:


On our way out of Spoleto we ran into some old friends:


The Turners gave us the use of their car for a day and we stopped in at Bagnaia, Vitorchiano, and Montefiascone. Dottie especially enjoyed the gardens of Villa Lante in Bagnaia. The Pegasus Fountain:



That's ust a brief taste of the many sights and experiences we found. Great food, friends and hospitality at every turn. Our most effusive thanks go to our generous hosts, Amy and Warren Turner. Ciao!
