Another warm sunny day, and a walking tour of Spoleto this am - Edla, Robin, and Bryant gave it a pass, but I went along and it turned out to be a much less strenuous walk with a guide we'd already enjoyed in Assisi. Spoleto is a Roman city under a medieval city under a Renaissance city that was hit by an earthquake in the 90's, so has been built up again since then. It has ruins of a Roman Amphitheatre and a later aqueduct, and great restaurants. Our hotel is particularly good as well.
Tonight we walked to dinner at a small Osteria that Luca recommended - Osteria di Mattos.....restaurant of the Crazies. No menu, they just bring the food - mostly appetizers, and we sat and ate from 7:30-10:30. When we emerged from the Osteria we found ourselves in the midst of time trials of a race of homemade vehicles that resembled olympic toboggans with a driver and a brakeman running at the rear of the sled. They went right by our hotel.
Off to Cortona (Frances Mayes, Under the Tuscan Sun) tomorrow and then to San Gimingnano. Sorry there no photos today, but Bryant has a cold and my camera doesn't work well with my iPad.
