We were fortunate to be invited the other day to go to lunch in Panicale by some very special people. They spend a great deal of time in Italy, even more than we do, and they use Cortona as a base as we do. They have a wonderful blog with a lot of the history of the places they visit and well worth reading, blogginginitaly.com.
Panicale is a lovely little hilltop town in the province of Perugia in Umbria, with a fantastic view of Lake Trasimeno. We had been to the lower part of the town before, but never to the upper area so it was a great new experience for us. Not only did we get to drive through the fields where the beautiful red poppies are starting to show but they have a Cinque Cento which is my favorite car and we got to ride in that!
We were too busy having fun chatting and getting to know each other better for me to be bothered with too many photos, but the ones I did take will give you a small idea of how sweet this town is.
