Alyssa and I took a train to Todi Ponte Rio, the train had two small cars and we sat directly behind the conductor.\u00a0 We were met at the train station by Sharri’s husband Piero who proudly gave us a tour of his beloved Umbria.\u00a0 The Yellow House was at the end of a winding dirt road and the olive picking had begun. Sharri is a good friend of a dear friend of mine, and we were invited to spend the weekend to help with the\u00a0olive harvest.\u00a0 I believe they have about 150 trees in their orchard.\u00a0 Of course we said yes, and we were delighted to find that conversation, and fine dining were part and parcel of olive picking.\u00a0 Luckily we had lovely weather, a little chill in the morning, but great opportunities to take pictures and enjoy the view of the hills that surround their property.\u00a0\u00a0On the second day,\u00a0some light rain came in late in the day which forced us to\u00a0quit a little early, but that was after we harvested eight large crates of various varieties of olives.\u00a0 All the olive picking needed to be finished by the end of the week because they had an appoinment to have the olives pressed.\u00a0 We enjoyed the comraderie\u00a0with the other\u00a0personal friends of Sharri and\u00a0Piero. Of course we went home with two large cans of olive oil in payment for all of our hard work.\u00a0 I am not sure, but I think we made out really well, great food, wonderful conversation and olive oil.\u00a0 They are\u00a0in the most “bella” location in Umbria.\u00a0 If you want to pick olives next fall check out\u00a0 www.umbriabella.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
