very quick!

a quick note while my child is occupied with gelato and my husband with vino...

We arrived in Assisi this afternoon from Rome. We just left Sorrento and a peek a boo visit to the Amalfi coast. Sorrento was lovely, the weather divine and our little hotel with the balcony and sea view, perfect.

Rome - we returned for one night to remind us how great it is. I love big cities - the chaos, the flow, the energy, the noise, smells, everything. Rome has it all, plus ancient Roman ruins mingling with 15th-16th century architecture and food and wine.

Now it's time for hill towns in Tuscany and Umbria. We are going to look into sending some wine home. It is so good!
