Three Cheers for January Snow

I saw the snow from a distance right around the middle of December up on the mountain tops surrounding Foligno. It was magical. To my great delight I actually got to hear the crunch under my feet when we went to Colfiorito for a hike on the Epiphany, last week. It was a cold blustery day and it finally really felt like winter.

We did some traveling playing tour guides with visitors over the holidays – hit the usual suspects: the Giotto frescoes in Assisi, ruins in Rome, the Duomo in Florence (as well as the Capella Brancacci), among others. Now, I’m ready to get back to my own work!
