The hills are alive with....chocolate!

We left the wonders of Rome behind and oo'd and ahh'd our way into the Umbrian countryside.  Todi was a breath of fresh air, complete with a town gathering celebrating the national holiday.   The tour of the Perugina chocolate factory was fun and delicious -  Free samples?!   I'm surprised there was anything left after our group mowed through the gift shop.  The town of Perugia has charmed us all.  This afternoon there was a vintage Mercedes car show, lots of shopping and spectacular views.  Our hotel is really first class and our supper was served in that old fashioned proper style with waiters plating our delicious food for us.  We celebrated Gabbi Warren's birthday with a touch of class...and a rousing rendition of Tanti Auguri.  It is sprinkling a bit right now but I am holding out hope that it will be clear by tomorrow morning.
