Extra postcards

(This post was written Saturday, but couldn't be posted until now, as we couldn't find any wi-fi spots near our hotel in Rome. We're home again and pretty jet-lagged.)

I'm writing this on the train from Foligno to Roma. We surrendered our lucky (automatic) Avis rental car, as there's no way we'd try to drive in Rome. Anyway, last night before dinner, we walked around Bettona taking photos, so here are a few of the local sights...

A luxuriant doorway garden tucked in along the narrow winding streets.

A mystery-to-me plant (one I don't recognize from the U.S.) with such an intense color.

The sweet painted entry sign for a Franciscan mission monastery.

A car on a typical Bettona street, with barely enough room to open both doors at once.

This is probably why... John could almost touch the walls of the buildings on either side of the street -- yes, this is a Bettona side street.  Think medieval scale.

And from the back of the hotel, the neighbor's lovely tomato garden with a view of sunflower fields in the distance below.

Finally, this photo is for our kids... they'll understand!

Welcome home! What a delight it's been to come along via your postcards . . . sleep tight for a few days.

Thanks! Maybe in another 24 hours things will settle a bit -- for now, I'm hopelessly fog-brained. Still have lots of photos from Rome to post about, eventually...
