Water spigot with Mary on the top and trail marker on the right The castle. It dates back to the 12th Century The castle is now a resorty place, though no one was there when we visited. One can swim, fish, and go truffle-hunting with specially trained dogs. The castle
On the way back to Casacastalda. These two were discussing clouds and . . . Star Wars. View of the countryside It's lovely here, even on a rainy day. Interesting how irregular the fields are compared with Ireland.

Cool patterns in the field Monica couldn't resist taking a picture of this field. Tote couldn't resist taking a picture of the clouds, or maybe he was just fascinated by the unsual color of the sky. It actually appeared to be blue.
Shrine at edge of Collemincio Collemincio Duncan and roof tiles. He smiles only when not being photographed The house we're staying in. There are garages on the first level; we're on the second; and the fellow on the third lives in Perugia.
