Last Day in Corciano (Sunday) – 8/03

Our last day in Corciano was cleanup day. Everyone was to leave their abode cleaner then when we arrived, so in our villa with six women we broke up the space for cleaning. We all cleaned our own rooms; Aprile did the kitchen; I took the refrigerator; Eileen cleaned the living room and shelves; Judy did one bathroom; Amy and Sam did the other. Afterwards, Sam and Amy crashed on the couch with Robert who was visiting and keeping us company while we cleaned. It was another sad time knowing we would be leaving Corciano early the next morning to go to Rome for the last excursion of our trip.

Knowing we had cleaned all food out of the house, the whole group of us when out to dinner one last time. We drove to a park on a neighboring hill that overlooked the largest lake in Italy. There were two large tables set up outside a small concession area where we had reservations to eat. We had a great Italian meal of several antipasti, pasta and dessert all accompanied with the wine and/or water of your choice. As you can see, Jason got into the meal by serving pasta around our table. There was a brilliant sunset that evening over our view of the lake.

After dinner, we went to Gabrielle and Dina’s home for more ice cream and a video he had made of our visit in Corciano. He gave everyone a CD with the video he made as a going away gift to everyone. This was a very nice ending to our summer stay in Corciano.
