After an amazing dinner the night before, I slept pretty well. SMS and I were in the third floor bedroom with a beautiful view over the valley. The entire family woke up early because we thought we were going on a wine tour that day. It turned out that it was the next day, which made a lot more sense since it was planned to give us a day to settle in. Since we were all awake, we decided to go to the nearby Citta d’Castello.
We took two cars and took a few minutes to meet up. Then we walked along the town streets. It was pretty quiet, but we found a coffee bar that was open. Success! The coffee (aka, espresso and cappachino) was delicious and amazingly inexpensive.
Then we walked around some of the older buildings. We browsed through an indoor farmers market and bought some nice produce. On another street, we found a cute gourmet market filled with delicious items. There were some other nice stores but it seemed that many were closed on Mondays.
We headed back to the house, where we had a mellow afternoon. Lunch and dinner consisted of leftovers from the night before. I took a nap, which was delightful. I also ran the recommended walking loop that was a hilly 5 km jog- my heart rate was definitely high on those hills. There was a reward though- the beautiful view!
