Yesterday we said goodbye to Passignano. It was a bit bittersweet- while we were ready to move on, we'd really found our place in the town. We had a final lunch at our usual cafe, and they wouldn't let us pay for it. Then we went to get some final fruit for the road, and the fruit vendor wouldn't let us pay for it. Everyone said we'd been so nice and always full of smiles and extracted a promise we'd come back next summer. It was very touching.
Around 3:00 we got on the road, and only got lost once trying to find this little town, Radicondoli (raw-dee-KAWN-doh-lee). It's not listed on many maps, and even when it is, they don't really show all the roads. Plus, it's even farther out in the middle of nowhere than we thought. But by 4:30 we arrived, settled in our farmhou
se, and couldn't be happier.
The house is on a promontory overlooking the surrounding hills and valley. It's nice and cool with a brisk breeze. They have fabulous chairs in which to read. Above the house on the hill is the little town, a 15 minute walk on dirt roads. We both feel like we've really gotten away.
