A Day of Abbeys

In addition to all the lovely Umbrian hill towns, there are other treasures, as well. We are always open to any suggestions from Mary and Michael at Genius Loci of places to go and things to see, this trip the suggestion was Abbeys.

The Heart of Italy


Umbria, for most people who have never had that opportunity to visit Italy, or are planning their first trip, they may have never heard of this region. To me, it is one of the most beautiful.  My experiences here have been filled with rolling hills, small hill towns, and patchwork landscapes.

Friends of Friends in Italy

Friends here have friends in Arezzo who run a business just outside the city walls. Family-owned and run, its a very nice store that sells just about any type of Italian café, pastry, gelato, chocolate or wine someone could want. When my friends here told their friend (Stefano) in Arezzo that we were planning a visit to the area, he insisted we come by the store, and said he would like to include us in an activity he had planned.
