The small town of Trevi was our homebase for two weeks
11-MAR-2007
Trevi sits high on a hill covered with thousands of olive trees

Although it's a very attractive place with a long history, Trevi remains relatively untouristed compared to its much better known neighbours such as Assisi. The tourist information office was not open during our stay.

Trevi's train station is in the valley. Our route to the station followed this lane through the olive groves.

Assisi was one of our destinations on the train

There are several beautiful churches in the home of Saint Francis

However, this 1st century BC Roman temple shows that its history did not begin with Christianity.

We went to another town on bicycle
18-MAR-2007
But much of our time was spent hiking in the Umbrian hills. This relatively high elevation area was covered in snow the day after our hike.

Hiking, of course, takes its toll so gelato is advisable to maintain energy levels.
