The last day… we went all day to the Trasimeno lake. We went there with Patirce’s camper. For all of us it was the first time we went in such a home on wheels. There is a little kitchen, fridge, toilette and even a shower. Of course nobody had a shower there but we had fun. The lake is great. It’s the third biggest Italian lake. There are three islands on it and it’s really big. The season is over so there were not many people around. The beach was empty even though the weather was fantastic today. It’s hard to believe that in the end of October the temperature can be so high!!! What it will be like home :( After a short walk along the lake in Passignano Patrice invited us all to the restaurant to have the final lunch together there. There were so many people. The restaurant is quit well known and it specializes in pizza baked on hot stones. It’s really impressive. The pizza like this is called torta al testa and it’s filled with ham, rucola and stracchino cheese. We also had a try of all the other specialties they make from calamari and shrimps to supple, fried mozzarella, yellow pepper and crabs. At the end we had huge pieces of cakes. Everybody took a different king to try as many of them as possible. Pasha also took a nice cappuccino and at the end of the meal we felt all about to explode. Even David and Patrice’s mother came with us so it was a really family day out. Only Laura stayed at home to take care of the animals and other domestic jobs. Unfortunately somebody has to do them!! On our way back we stopped in a big supermarket to do the really last shopping and off we went home. On our way back we were so tired that we all slept all the way back. Then at home last packing… the bottles of wine and olive oil that we made to take home and a frantic atmosphere before a long trip. But even the last day Alexandra didn’t let us go and she showed us how to make tiramisu. It was fantastic!!! Later there were just the certificates and the documents. We all did well and here our Italian adventure ends. We had fun , we missed a bit home sometimes. We worked with our smart hands we definitely opened our minds.

Ciao tutti!!!
