The trip to Castelluccio.

Thursday Afternoon, April 26, 2012

After our cooking class and its wonderful staged lunch, we took off for Castelluccio in the mountainous eastern section of Norcia.  Castelluccio is famous for its lentils, which are grown on the Castelluccio plain.  This plain is also famous for its display of wild flowers in June and July.  Photographers come from far and wide to capture their vivid colors.

 I bought some lentils and piselli or wild peas in the very small town.

Then we hustled back to Norcia to don our party dresses for the Gala Dinner at the hotel where we partook more of Flavio's wonderful creations.  Unfortunately, I don't have photos.  My camera's battery was dying.
