While the kids were in school, David and I decided to go over the Lake Trasimeno and check things out. It is about 40 minutes away and is the fourth largest lake in Italy. We drove around the lake and stopped for lunch at this local favorite.
We ordered the specialty in the area is called a torta la testa. I had one with is prosciutto, arugula and cheese on flatbread and David’s was “bits of roasted pig” which ended up being something like bologna.
When we picked the kids up from school, we took them back to the lake and spent the entire afternoon walking around and exploring. Here are some of the pics.
It was a gorgeous day and we were surprised that there was still snow and ice on the banks.
The kids spent their last hour there playing in the sand while David and I sat relaxing, listening to the lapping of the water against the shore.
A much needed lazy afternoon…

When it warms up, take the ferry across to the island. You can learn about the lace makers that were imported to bring an industry to the area.
ReplyDeleteIf you are up for it, there is a vespa rental place down at the far end of the lake... you can rent and ride for a half day. Kathy
