Sounds wonderful TO. There is a little shop on the way up the hill to the cathedral in Assisi - sells cheese and olive oils -- they sell a wonderful basalmic/fig/olive oil mixture that that is wonderful for dipping a sharp cheese, like pecorino.

Gillie

Somehow, Temple Owl's comments about Italian sent me down a rabbit hole looking at Vintage Scandinavian silver jewelry, which I find much more interesting in general than most of the Italian silver I came across.

8:50 pm

Gillie

Italian *silver*

8:51 pm

mich_pdx

sounds like a fun "trip", Gillie!

8:51 pm
