Summer's winding down

Its our last week in the countryside. We've been staying close to our villa for the last week. But you don't have to travel far to see really amazing things here.


Lulu continues to commune with the local fauna.



In a mirrored space designed by Leonard da Vinci-



Lake Trasimeno is not far away. It's a natural lake with eons of history-



A short ferry ride takes us to the Isola Maggiore. It has a quaint small town to walk around.





We often walk after dinner to our local medieval village called Sterpeto. The entire walled village has been bought by a British couple who are making it into vacation apartment rentals.







WE have been to Assisi many times. We finally made it up to the Rocca Maggiore, a military fortress originally dating to the 10th century. It sits high aboove the town. Below is the view downward to the town.



















We took another crack at finding the caves on Monte Cucco, about an hour drive. The mountains here offer many dramatic views.





We did manage to find a small cave.



We hit Gubbio on the way back.











A headless fransiscan nun?
