A little road trip took us to the small city of Norcia in Umbria. Pretty crowded on our arrival, but it’s August after all, the busiest tourist month. Very cute town with lots of small shops offering local gastronomic specialties like lentils, cheese, truffles and all kinds of salamis and prosciuttos. I spare you the wild boar’s heads on display everwhere. 🙁 we passed by the lovely little boutique hotel Palazzo Seneca and went in for a look around and to check out a room. Tres nice indeed, even for a dinner or a drink in their charming atmosphere. We chose a local trattoria for lunch, Trattoria dal Francese, where we stuffed our faces like there was no tomorrow. Phew! Next stop Castelluccio di Norcia on 1450 m, where we enjoyed the amazing landscape, the fresh air and stopped by to buy lentils from Regina Perla (Queen Pearl). Yep that’s the woman’s name! A quick hello to Saint Rita of Cascia on our back, stopping for dinner in Assisi…now: home sweet home!
