Having had fabulous weather for the past week or so, we decided to explore Lago Trasimeno, and Castiglione del Lago today. By the time we got there, sky was looking very bleak. Quick parking of car and hasty walk up beautiful steps into yet another lovely walled hilltop city.
We were just walking along when the heavens opened - turned into a glorious thunderstorm. Just as it started to pour we decided to go into the first ristorante we came to. Guess what it was called ? As I'm an Aquarius - it was DEF a sign ! Fabulous meal too, and lovely people.
As we braved the rain to get back to the car a couple of hours later, we were hauled into a little shop to dry off. Lovely owner who gave us wine samples and lovely pecorino cheese, some with truffles, some with peppers - no pressure to buy she was just being caring. Flirted with my husband and said she'd come on the courses if he was the model ! He turned colour of tomato ! Very friendly and typical Umbrian/Tuscan hospitality.
More bookings in today for September and October courses, things are looking GOOD ! Finding out about lots more tours out as well and teaming up with GOOD people !
