Lake Bolsena

The pier in format of our Hotel

As most families, we tend to pack too much into one small summer.  Thursday, we moved out of our Assisi apartment,  loaded our car to the brim (including cooking supplies), and visited a hydrangea-filled,  lake town a couple of hours away, complete with a castle.

Luke is still disappointed that the museums aren't family museums (so what if there are artifacts over 2000 years old?).

Fortunately,  our children met some Austrian children and played so well that both families spent the next day together, going on a little cruise and lunch.  Birgit spoke some English, thankfully, so conversations were a little easier.

Saturday, we packed our little car again and drove to a farm house outside Assisi.  Ok, we smell farms around us but we have a pool, soccer field, and a TOASTER in our kitchen.  All are happy.
