For those of you who prefer to travel in the sultry dog days of summer, there are times I feel sorry for you. You miss Orte arising from the fog:

orte, umbria, fog

Or the promise of a warm morning:

valley fog, art monastery, Calvi dell’Umbria

(Click to see them a decent size)

The second picture was taken on our way to the Art Monastery in Calvi. Here’s a project I’m excited about. Artists take over an old monastery; making it into a very inexpensive B&B where they hold classes in art and create local performance art. Each room has a small kitchen, but there are also visiting chefs who can feed you. You can also learn skills relating to the land. These coming weeks are devoted to olive harvest weekends. Check them out. Fantastic group.
