I have been "brought to my knees" by a knee injury. For a few days I simply have not been able to bear any weight on my right knee and have had severe pain. We spent hours at Emergency last Wednesday to evaluate the entity of the problem and since, I have been forced to stay in a wheelchair or on crutches.
I was able to go up to the Inn to greet and welcome another Stanford Alumni group for a wine tasting and picnic during their trek from Bevagna to Montefalco. Our daughter, Mar, was home from Penn State, so was able to meet several Stanford professors with whom she had MANY mutual colleagues and friends. Academia is such a tightly knit group.
I always enjoy seeing Maurizio and Michael looking at the vineyard and conferring as they wait for their tasting explanation
We enjoying seeing the trekkers rest up as they eat their nicely prepared picnic lunch
a few hours together before taking off for Montefalco
As I write today I am encouraged that I am on the mend.

An appreciative THANK YOU to my well-wishers. I am making slow - albeit sporadic - progress.
