Walking Tour

Missed breakfast, late for intro, tuna salad oddness for lunch (probably delicious if you actually like tinned tuna), no real seat in our photo intro because there are more people than chairs in the class.  That was all the not so great stuff.  Now that that's out of the way, gorgeous day, spent walking around Castiglion Fiorentino and seeing what it has to offer; which is odd, beautiful, and interesting things to photograph.  Roses, architecture, and vistas are all on offer.

Started the day with a quick wake-up to go to a brief intro that I wasn't aware of, so I was late and didn't know where it was.  Sat through another brief intro by the people who run the facility which was a bit dry.  Then an hour to walk around town, see all the shops that were closed for their mid-day siesta and head back to listen to an intro to photography.  Then more free time and more walking around.  Lunch was in there somewhere between walking and camera intros... not sure where.  Nothing to say about lunch. Dinner was much better: spiral pasta in a cheesy pesto sauce (no cream!), fresh vegetables in oil and parsley, and roasted pork with lots of herbs.

The gelato(es) for the day from the same local gelatteria as yesterday, which I now know is called Coco Palm... lemon and a berry blend called fruiti di bosce or something like that, literally fruits of the forest.  Very bright and clean for the late afternoon.
