My cousin and his wife visited for two nights. They are from NYC and on their honeymoon. I was very happy to see them! They are both tall and beautiful, always clad in black, and I felt like I was in the company of two celebrities.
I picked them up at the station, and they had a good sleep at the house before venturing out the next morning to see Assisi.
We had a lunch at a terrace restaurant with amazing views.
We visited a few of the many churches in Assisi and bought some souvenirs in the Basilica. The weather was crazy. Sitting on the stone front of Santa Chiara, Zenon and I soaked up the bright sun while scattered rain drops fell on us and polkadotted the piazza. Clouds hurried across the vista, their shadows rushing below, lighting and darkening the land. Looking up at the Rocca, bright white against black clouds, we could see it fall into shadow and then brighten again. Magnificent.
We made dinner at home, a wonderful tomato pasta by my cousin, along with salad from the garden, stuffed tomato appetizers from the market, Umbrian white wine, and German chocolate. Yum.
