"Luigina" is our Mana foods. At 82,she grows the best veggies and she sells all for the same price cause it takes too much time to figure it out. Anything for 1 euro per kilo, she smiles and packs the eggs as well


the eggs makers



a little trip out of town. we discovered this emerald lake at only 20 minutes away.It's built on top of romans walls, so you jump in the water standing on a platform built 2000 years ago
, water divine









back home after the trip to the lake, we go to our version of casanova, where everything happens. Stella bar, owned and run by Stella, mother of 4 and a big smoker, here are 2 of her daughters




tired and hungry..arrived home..this is what we found on the door steps: a gift from the neibourghs


manish preparing for winter and Tashi is helping with the lizards




you can see we are preparing a "visitor portfolio" for you: this was at Assisi, breathtaking, the inside of the church is all painted by Giotto. Manish left me outside 'cause the dog couldnt come in and appeared out of the door only after more than 2 hours! i waited in the company of some good icecream.

Finally made it inside to meditate by San Francis tumb and reliquary and it was very emotional, quite a blessing to be in there. it's less than 2 hours drive, so we'll be back for more




we are doing fine, a bit lost or hanging in the empty sky, very much like this passing cloud and enjoying the journey.


still thrilled to be here yet missing all and each of you!
