The Simple Life
Recently while working in
California I have been getting jobs where I need drive out of Napa Valley and
into San Francisco or the county before.
It takes about an hour and a half and there is often bumper to bumper traffic. Leaving the Valley early in the morning
I drive through the vineyards and feast my eyes on spectacular views of the valley floor, sometimes I will even see a fleet of
hot air balloons. I don’t mind the time driving because
it is alone time when I can be in my own mind….ahhh.
Now here in Spello, Umbria I have been
giggling to myself because this house I am painting now, it takes me 7 minutes to walk to work and the views are
amazing.
I leave early in the
morning (to beat the immense heat) and often not too many people are on the
streets.
I’ll let the photos tell the
story, as you peruse through look for a few cool elements, like a wooden walking bridge, curved
church and alleyways with slightly rising bricks to make it easier to walk. The first photo is from leaving our front door, the last is from the deck of my client. Just to bring you down from viewing my life too romantically, I'll end with the note that I am presently painting brick and beam ceilings, high on a ladder in 95 degree heat. Ok!
