LaMama Umbria
August 19, 2019
For the next ten days I’ll be living in a 12 century dwelling slightly updated. There are twenty of us spread spread over the property. Itself makes me wish that I did watch Game of Thrones. It’s all stone and its many rooms have a layout that would make Joanna and Chip Gaines cringe. It has a lovely courtyard where we eat our meals, which so far have been spectacular but very unusual. Last night was grilled tomatoes, slices of beef, a grain thingy I think faro and a cheesy quiche and a pizza but not tomato sauce. Two fantastic desserts a cake that was made from a crunchy pastry, an apple strudel and almond cookies. Today for lunch was salad, lemon risotto, grilled zucchini and a broccoli rabe.
Here’s a view of the grounds.
This is my room. Yes I have a roommate. There’s no air conditioning either.
This is our meeting outside meeting area.
Holy cannoli. Enjoy every moment and every cobblestone!
We are going to have so much to talk about!
Amazing. I am always taken aback when I put my hand on a stone from a place of such history and think of someone from that time doing the same thing and wondering what they were thinking at that moment.
