Hello! I thought it would be nice to show you some of Umbria - particularly as it pertains to design, food and architecture. Having spent two weeks in this mountainous, wonderful place - high in the hills of Montegiove (http://www.castellodimontegiove.com/) - YOU MUST!
This was our place - the olive mill belonging to the 13th Century Castello.
The land of Umbria is quite different than Tuscany - more mountains, less tourists! Tremendous sunsets!!!
Lots of highlights and great food - we went to a slow food restaurant in Montechello - Osteria La Porta - that was wonderful. Not to mention the wonderful restaurant at Badia a Coltibuono (http://www.badiaacoltibuono.com/).
There were so many highlights.....one being witness to the renovation happening to the Castello - and another - a Franciscan monestery now being run by 2 gay gentlemen - now that's what I call "liberation"!
There are so many photos (468) and lots of FLIP videos (72) - that I have no patience to do all at once. If you are interested, I'm happy to share some with you. All in all - it gives ones perspective on the rush, the tumble and what's really important. If I can keep this feeling for a time - I'm happy! You know....I think I will!

Beth, you're making me weep with envy. How did you ever manage to come back to us?
