After breakfast we traveled to Spoletto, about an hour away. It is a beautiful ancient town which still has nice remnants of the Roman civilization and influence such as an amazing huge viaduct that we walked over and an amphitheater as well as other artifacts such as columns, etc. The rest of the area still looks medieval. Walking around the old city was very comfortable to see the natives on their everyday activities. We visited two attractions, the Museum of Modern Art and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assanta from the 12th and 13th centuries. This was the most beautiful church and I have many photos. Afterwards we stopped at a modern mall and went to a large grocery store that was like a dollar store. I bought two bottles of San Marguerita wine for about $4 each and priced it when I got home at close to $40 each! Tonight we had fish for dinner and the first course was ravioli with a light cream sauce with nuts in it and a foamy lemon drink for dessert.
