American guest

I know I have been quiet but we have had some company. His name is Gene and he stayed for about a week. We went to Assisi, Perugia, wine tasting and Bevagna for lunch and Luther took him by train to (very crowded) Florence. I am glad I opted out of the later! We also took a trip to Isola di Maggiori in Lago Trasemeno. This last was a first for us. We had been meaning to go for some time. It is a nice, down kind of day after a lot of climbing up and down hill-towns. We had lunch at Da Sauro on the porch. The food was not notable. Still a nice day trip

This is a picture of Bevagna. I was liking how blue the sky was and the big white cloud.

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of my Gaspacho (italian spelling). It was sooo beautiful and cool.

Here are a couple of pictures from our excursion to Isola di Maggiori. First a couple of the main (and only) street.

View of the town from ferry pier. It is a 10 minute ride from Tuoro.

You can walk a good distance around the island, but not all the way. Here are Gene and Luther during our walk.

We said Ciao to Gene on Sunday.

Yesterday we visited a winery. The Wine Guy is getting backed up on his posts so be patient. This winery also offered many other products like sausage and prosciutto, and olive oil. I visited the future prosciutti housed nearby.

Finally two in a series of another sunset. Sometimes they can be pretty spectacular.

We are getting ready for another set of visitors from Australia so I will be writing about that soon.
