Castella di Vicarello: we arrived today. It is so amazing it actually brought me to tears. I have never ever been affected like this by a place. On our way here we stopped in Sienna and walked around. Then we stopped in a small local place and had really really good homemade pasta. Tomorrow we begin our cooking adventure at the castle. We are having a great time!!!!

Day1
Well, we finally got here after months of planning and anticipation. After landing in Rome we drove to Orvieto. The city dates back to pre BC. It a town known for producing wine (what else) and also is a place wheee 32 Popes have spent time on holiday. It is such a beautiful place so picturesque like you would see in the movies. We had our first gelato in Orvieto then went you our first cooking class in Fossatello. At Decugnano dei Barbie, (they also make wine and olive oil) we had a tour of the winery, learned a lot about wine, and went to our private cooking class. We made pasta, pizza, veal and cookies. Then they served us in a room big enough to seat 100 people. It was delicious!!!
Joyce introduced me to picking figs off the trees today. I have never eaten fresh figs like that. So good!,,,

We planned this trip months ago and now that it is here, I am feeling the anxiety of all the last minute things I have to do before we leave. I had a dream last night that I got to the airport and had forgotten my phone charger and a host of other things. I was early enough so I was debating if I should go home, get them or ask a friend, etc. I was walking around the airport looking for a cab to take me, then I realized I had left my bag at security............then I woke up. I think I am excited!
