Walking at Montemagno, LU
Even though we slept well our first night at the house, we were still awake by 4 am. About 6 am we decided to get up and go to the marcia podistica at Montemagno. It was another beautiful day and by the time we reached the start of the walk the chill air was turning balmy. It was fun to see our friends Erina, Antonio, Desi, Eni and all the rest of the Unione Sportivo di Partigliano group. They were excited to see us and the learn that we plan to stay long enough to help put on the Partigliano marcia on June 21. Many hands make light work!
We stopped at Bar Bini in Diecimo for coffee and pastry and then went home to start work. Dom got the strimmer running and eventually cut about half the grass in the vicinity of the house. Unfortunately a part broke on the strimmer so he had to stop for the day.
Meanwhile, I dusted and vacuumed up all the dead insects in the house. It was not too onerous a task but certainly not la dolce vita. Fortunately, Dom’s strimmer breakdown occurred at a good hour for lunch. We ate in the sunshine on the patio, stayed outside for another hour or so before showering and napping for a few hours. We woke at 7:30 in time to go to our favorite local restaurant, La Fonte, for dinner.
La Fonte was really hopping last night. They had extra help on hand and a full house. The food was wonderful as always but the people-watching was equally as good. There were lots of family groups and a number of really adorable babies. We enjoyed our best meal since we arrived in Italy as well as the vibrant activity at the restaurant. It was about 11 pm when we arrived home. Jet lag once more overwhelmed us and it was off to bed.
