Friday, October 12, 2012: 

This was our anniversary as I posted yesterday.  We had cancelled our car trip due to the weather which was a good decisions   We woke Friday morning to a lighting and thunder storm which resulted in rain on-an-off through the day.  We did get in some enjoyable shopping (well one of us did) and had an nice dinner together.

Saturday, October 13, 2012:

We took the early morning train from Spoleto to the town of Spello, about 40 miles away. Spello, another hilltop town is located on the southernmost slope of Mount Subasio at a height of about 300 M.S.L.  

The entrance into the town.

It seems everywhere you look you see beautiful narrow streets or paths with steps all leading to another beautiful street.  Spello is  one  of the most prettiest cities we have seen to date.  If we were to come back we would certainly consider renting a house here.

Heidi, this one is for you.

We stopped at many ceramic shops but this one caught our eyes. We ended up purchasing some beautiful ceramic plates and accessories.

 

Roger also did his fair share of spending today by spending some time in a wine shop where he purchased a bottle of Merlot.

This bottle cost around 4,500 Euros.  We did  not  buy this one!! 

This one was only 100 Euros.

The happy proprietor.

Two other love birds....

We made it back to the train station just ahead of a thunder storm.  The grey you see at the end of the track  actually is a heavy rain storm coming our way.

Tomorrow we had hoped to get a car but it does not look like that will happen since the shops are closed on weekends.  We will probably just do more walking and exploring the wonderful narrow streets.
