FRIDAY!! Our first day off. The work week had been exciting and we learned a lot, but it was also tiring. We were ready for a rest. Let the shopping begin.
We woke up in the morning feeling great after we slept in and had a leisurely breakfast. But we were soon out the door to go check out Spoleto’s local market that’s only Friday mornings from 8:00 to 1:00. We walked around to find fruit stands, shoes stands, clothing stands, and more. Hilary found some amazing gold shoes for only ten euro so she was a happy camper the rest of the day. Before we left we had to buy some of the delicious looking fruit. The stands were so colorful with the many different kinds of produce lined down the streets. We bought grapes, peaches and a kilo of cherries, which was all eaten two days later. It was yummy!
After shopping at the market, we decided to go shopping around town. We took our time wandering the beautiful streets of Spoleto and checking out the various shops. It is amazing what you’ll find. Each shop is so unique from the next.
Now time for pausa. “Pausa” is normally a time of rest, but not for us. We had work to get done. We needed to...clean the apartment. Don don don. We got down and dirty to clean up our beautiful apartment that we are lucky to stay in. After cleaning and having a little rest, we decided we needed to have a nice night out. We cleaned ourselves, got dressed up and went out to dinner at this charming little restaurant called Osteria del Matto. It was a classic Italian dinner that took three hours to eat. I loved it. We were able to relax and talk as we waited for the different delicious courses to be brought to us. It tasted great and we all had a really fun time.
It was a perfect start to a wonderful weekend and I can't wait for a new work week. What a great experience and there is much more to come!!
