Friday afternoon we headed two hours away to Perugia to visit with Vincenzo and his family. When we arrived it was snowing! It has been very cold on this trip. We had a lovely and delicious dinner with Vincenzo, Teresa, Allesandro, and Luigi. Ates and Canan had not seen Vincenzo in thirty years, since Boulder. Mike and I had visited with Vincenzo two summers ago. It was so nice to catch up. Teresa is an excellent cook and is so warm and hospitable. The next day we toured the beautiful medieval city of Perugia. It is known for its chocolate, Perugina, and for its famous jazz festival held each June. The city is so peaceful and relaxed. I would love to stay for a much longer time. We then traveled about an hour away to Orvieto also in the region of Umbria where we toured a beautiful cathedral, I think one of the loveliest we have seen thus far. The cathedrals certainly accomplished the goal of looking towards heaven and making you realize just how small we are in God's creation.
