Playing house, playing guitar, and lots of new pictures!

If you click on the picture above, you can view a close-up that lets you see the olive groves past the yellow leaves, and the cathedral in Santa Maria degli Angeli down below.  Gorgeous!

Here I sit, eating leftover homemade tomato soup, while Kim practices guitar by the window in the kitchen.  It's a pretty, domestic little picture.  We had an early morning, getting up at 6 to go to the Friday morning market in Bastia Umbra.  There were Tons of clothes there, but we focused on the food and came home with some good, fresh vegetables and cheese.  

Nap time has come and gone, and I think we're going to try to make gnocchi this afternoon.  (Y'all know how I love gnocchi.)  It's probably best to start with plain, potato gnocchi, though I can't help but be tempted to add cheese, basil, etc.  We'll see.

Since we're [gloriously] without jobs and all, we've been spending a lot of time exploring lately.  We went to Perugia on Monday and walked around.  (Pictures HERE.)  And here's a little taste:
 


Tuesday was Assisi, Wednesday was Santa Maria degli Angeli, and Thursday (yesterday) we trekked up to Rocca Maggiore, the castle at the top of Assisi.  Amazing views!  You can check out the many beautiful pictures and captions HERE, though here's a nice one from up top:



And for those of you itching to see what Kim looks like with a guitar on her lap, look no further.  You can see her wide range of chord knowledge HERE.  Good work, Kim!

Thanks to Annie for being a most patient and gracious teacher. Oh, and for listening to the same two songs over and over.
