Spello

I decided to spend my last day here in Spello exploring this wonderful town. I woke to cloudy skies. I found the town of Spello to be delightful. As is the case in most hilltowns, Spello is a town of many steep hills. Temperatures were supposed to hit 75 but if they did, it was only for a short time. I found Spello to be pretty empty today with only a few locals and tourists (mostly Italians) out and about. I wandered around seeing much of the town in just over an hour, taking lots of pictures along the way.

I had a wonderful lunch (a caprese salad and another plate of strongozzi) at il Cacciatore. I sat out on the patio overlooking the countryside below. After an afternoon gelato, and more wandering around town, I went back to my room to pack as this was my last day here in Spello. I also spent a little bit of time on the computer. The hotel had one computer with a two euro charge per connection to the internet which is very convenient.

I am still dealing with a bit of jet lag and so I decided to have a simple dinner of cheese, bread, yogurt, and fruit, which I purchased at various locations in town and going to bed early. I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Palazzo Bocci. The people at the desk were so friendly and helpful and the room was very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel!
