Leaving Il Castagna

It is cool and clear as we pack up and prepare to leave. This has been two weeks of living like locals on holiday.  Trips to the seaside or the mountains with a few excursions to see the sights. Not a lot of selfies of any of us in front of anything.  A lot of it is written in our mind and consists of simple things. The warmth and openness of Claudio and Clara, Massimo and Letizia, and Andrea.  The great service Anna gave us daily in the villa and easy access to the owner, Franco, meant nothing but carefree pleasant days.

Laughter and fantastic food plus the sense of achievement in handling the Italian roads.  Little moments that made a great vacation.

Last night Anna prepared our farewell dinner at home.
