Day 18

Rowan went into Siena with Eric & Julie and their 9 and 11 year old daughters who seemed more than delighted to have the big girl as their companion. Danielle and I went a good three hour walk in the hills on a great twisting old path that took us to the top of the ridge then back down to the village of Lecche and the old path down to the villa. We passed this house amidst characteristic cypress trees on our way; it is good to walk around here. It was Elizabeth's 11th birthday today so cake and candles were served.
