My sister's visit October 2009

October 9^th -15^th October 2009.

Julie

Julie decided to come out to Italy for some R and R when a planned trip was cancelled. Having already booked absence from work to go away she decided to come out to Casa Piccola instead. It was lovely to have her just a few minutes down the road, we saw each other every day but she also had her independence. This gave her plenty of opportunity to do some sketching and painting, a talent we do not share.

The time of course passed all too quickly but we enjoyed some quality time together both here at Campo delle Rose, local eateries, shopping (for clothes of course) and a visit to San Martino nel Cimini.

A trip to a Chestnut Festa had been the intention, only that was on in Soriano al Cimini, the other side of Viterbo. I had been convinced we were going to the right place as San Martino was where we went to one last year!
