A couple of hours later the remainder of the group arrives: other friends of Uwe that he invited to celebrated his big 6 0 ! Ulla and Heinrich, as well as Juliana and Carmen. A bit later, Werner and Ursula arrive as well! That night, we all go out for dinner to the local restaurant "La Pergola" http://www.ristoranteostarialapergola.com/specialita_marchigiane_locali.htm
It is always intriguing to meet friends of friends...and so, we start getting acquainted with these two couples around good food and good wine! That evening, we all opt for passatelli, a regional specialty of pasta made with a generous amount of parmesan, eggs, bread and black pepper.  The food at La Pergola as well as the ambiance are wonderful. Petra is well known, of course, being a frequent diner who brings her guests to taste the regional cuisine! With the meal being served at 21h00, it gets a late night!

Next morning, we are the first up for breakfast and we set the table outside for Ulla and Heinrich who share our house! Marleyne fiddles with the espresso machine until she gets the brew right...out with the prosciutto and the cheese! Ulla and Heinrich have brought their homemade jam and voila! a very long and very pleasant breakfast which lasts until 13h00!!!! We have fun being together and sitting in the sun, chatting, looking at the mountains..La Dolce Vita!
