good by balcony, good by vaporetto, good by bridge, good by coffee lady! We got on the train with a sigh, but didn't look back. We were on our way to Assisi!
Over the causeway-
past fields ruined by rain-
all the way to Firenze--Florence to you-
a couple hours more on the train, a taxi ride up the hill (Assisi is a hill town) and we were there--
Assisi!
Assisi!We roamed a bit before dinner
and I took once more my favorite pictures that I had taken four years ago when Chuck and I were here:
Such a beautiful setting!
But now to dinner: We ate at Hotel Giotto where Chuck and I had stayed those few years ago, and it was incedible, amazing and wonderful food! Here's the rundown with pictures for almost everything.
Jackie's antipasto: Umbrian we Bread salad with Olives, Mozzarella cheese and Basil sorbet!!!! I ate it in honor of my dear Grandma Wagner, who also used stale bread in a dish called simply 'Bread Stuff.'
Denise's antipasto: Zucchini flowers stuffed with mousse of Cheeses, gratin with Parmesan cheese and cherry tomatoes!!
Jackie's main course: Home made wide Tortellini stuffed with wild Rabbit sauteed with a sauce of wild game, red Fruits and rings of Pecorino cheese!
Bob's main course:Pork steak on delicate cream of Cannellini Beans flavoured with Orange, Oil with Cocoa of Varhona!!
Denise's main course: Home made Tagliatelle sauteed with Umbrian black Truffle!!!
To wash it all down tastefully:
I am terribly sorry, but I started eating the dessert as it arrived, and sharing, it was quickly gone! Alas, I don't even know what it was, but it was very good!
A few more photos, and we returned to our (fortunately) nearby hotel and went to bed.
Buona Sera!
