The embroidery shop had one side of the arch as its wall!!

Dinner at Apollinare again.
Our 30th (yes 30th) anniversary tour to italy and greece. Something we planned before children and can now get around to doing.... We started this blog when we returned, to record our progress - we had bought a netbook to help us while we were travelling but it didn't work, so we decided this would be our record......

Day 26 - Friday 30 April - Spoleto
Got up early to go to the post office for a box to post the presents home - bit of an ordeal making myself understood, but came back with the job done. Made this a stay home/window shopping sort of day. Lazed around on the terrace not doing much at all. Walked up and had lunch in the square near the Arch of Drusus - bought a table runner made in Montefalco from a shop which has one of it’s walls as the arch!
Lovely architecture throughout the town..
Connecting buildings across the road
The steps leading to the town's Duomo - a beautiful church
A combination of carvings and frescos made with tiles
the view up the steps from the piazza in front of the Duomo
The fresco sparkled in the sun - glorious!
The 'new' buildings are built on the foundations of ancient ones....
Even the shops have been built around them - this is the Arch of Drusus
Another road through a building.......
