"La dolce far niento" means a sweet day for doing nothing. That's what we had and it was delicious. Since it was a celebration of our 100th day on this adventure, we were thinking of driving to some hill town but as the day wore on and Dian reported a big bump on her forehead from banging into the rock wall behind the bed the night before, the Happy Trails Gang decided to stay home. We had fun reading books about Umbria, Rome and Florence and Dian and Nicole took some pieces of glass and an antique beer top Dian had found to the museum and the curator said she would be interested in them for the museum collection!
Throughout the day a bean soup with peperoni was bubbling on the stove and we sat down to big steaming bowls of it with fresh bread and cheese.
After dinner we went up the street to the gelateria but alas the tubs were put away for the winter so we had to settle for Nutella, a pre-packaged sundae and a beer as our 100th day celebration treat!!!
