Day 13

Last night we went to dinner at an Enoteca in Umbertide, the town where we stayed.  The owner provided wine suggestions for each course.  Had some amazing blended minestrone soup and Bill had eggplant lasagna. 
Traveled today to Rome with mixed feelings.  The countryside is so relaxing and Rome on the other had is anything but that.  Walked for at least 3 hours and did what is known as the Dolce Vita Stroll.  In other words we hit all the main tourist spots.  Bill proceeded to drink a half a liter of wine with his lamb and pasta while I just watched.  Cocktails on the terrace of our room and off to dinner we went.  The self- appointed marketing Director for the Osteria was named Massimo and he was a side-show worth the purchase of a ticket.   Let’s just say his flare was largely responsible for that night's full house.  So one more day to go and then it is back to the grind.  I feel extremely grateful to have this adventure.  I plan to summarize with my list of persons, places and foods of interests.
