On this first morning in our place we always sleep in. Over a cup of coffee we start to realize that slow is OK. We can feel the rhythm. It’s about appreciating the time, the place and the people. After breakfast we head to the local “Co-op” store in Castiglione del Lago for provisions. Then we take a stroll along the shore of Lago Trasimeno and stop for refreshments at Cafe Pescatore Praia. Then we drive home and unload the groceries.

Next we head to Panicale, another enchanting village just up the ridge from Paciano. We have a late lunch at Bar del Gallo (Aldo & Daniella’s place). This is one of our favorite places to hang out with friends, enjoy the vibe, and watch the world go by.

Then it’s back home for some time in the garden with a good book. Maybe a nap… we’re still catching up on jet lag!

We end the day with a light supper at home and a nightcap at Sosta, while we talk about tomorrow’s adventure. Buona notte!
