Umbria is known for its production of olive oil.
The town of Trevi |
After a slow morning we walked to a very small town, Bovara...
....while we sketched and enjoyed the valleys covered in olive trees giving the landscape a beautiful soft green colouring.
We stopped to view the oldest olive tree in all of Umbria. We sketch its negative space .

From there, we walked over to a friend's agriturismo for a lesson on olive oil making.
She still has all the original equipment used by the Benedictine monks from the 1500's.
What a perfect garden she has for us to relax in after our 3 km walk. Her mom prepared a snack for us.
Dinner in Trevi was super! Such a lovely atmosphere.
(Again the internet isn't repaired. I am at a coffee shop and can not upload more pictures because my camera cord is back at the house. Please keep checking back for more pictures)
