Next stop Siena...















Beautiful doorways of my favorite fairytale town of Chivita!
There is nothing modern here, no grocery stores, no cars, just cobblestone roads...but there is a whole lots of charm and beauty. It is an artist's dream come true!

Our room for the night at the only place to stay in Chivita, Franco's B&B.





Perched on a pinnacle in a grand canyon, you walk on a foot bridge, across to the sleepy little hill town. Chivita is 100's of years old, and seems to be stuck in the Middle ages, with only a handful of residents.

Next day, a bus ride to Chivita, a magical tiny hill town!

We flew into Rome, then traveled to Orvieto by train, where we spent one night.

Watching Grandkids in Colorado

We have had a busy few months. In April, I went to Colorado to watch 2 of our grand children, Grant & Leah, while Kristie & Kevin celebrated their 10th anniversary in Washington DC. So good to be with them for awhile since we live so far away.


A week later, Nephi & I went to Italy for for 2 weeks. It was great fun and oh so beautiful!!
