A week in Italy

by Julius on June 4th, 2009

Armed with my advance copy of Umbria and Marche (now published), I spent a week in Italy – a combination of nostalgia and further exploration. Ate a fishy lunch in Ancona, surprised Rosy on her birthday near Gualdo, walked through the rain in the mountains from La Vecchia Stalla, where we met a wolf in the forest, spent a raucous rainy night in Tuscany with Gemma, Rupert and friends and returned to Perugia for a wistful day of tramping familiar streets.

Castelluccio was too rainy for hang-gliding though, and though the fields were full of poppies lower down, the Piano Grande hadn’t completely bloomed. So I’ll have to go back…
