Wednesday May 22, 2013

Today four of us, plus Linda, our fearless leader and driver, headed out to Civita di Bagnoregio near Orvieto. Our other two tour members stayed at Maridiana to do a natural dyes workshop.
The sun came out on cue as we drove up to Civita, and stayed out until we were just finishing our lunch there at a wonderful restaurant called Alma Civita. We had a light lunch including a soup made with borage which tasted much like asparagus. This little town, located across a walking bridge on a tuva rock hill, was every bit as beautiful as it was when we visited it last year.

Then it was a quick stop in Todi, another hill town, where there was a light shower, but not enough to dampen our appetite for coffee or gelato. Dinner was at a local restaurant where we had the most delicious pasta - little purses filled with cheese and pears, in a white walnut sauce, followed by a mixed grill of lamb, pork, and sausage, vegetables, and fries. Dessert was out of the question, but the doggie bag contents will do us just fine for tomorrow night's dinner at Maridiana.
