Packing boxes to head home

Today we packed up four more boxes – two going back to TX & two going to FL.  We had a reservation for lunch at Il Mulino, a recommendation of Julie’s.  It’s one of those places that it’s hard to get through on the phone for a reservation, but well worth it. 

When you’re seated, they immediately have a zucchini dish on the table for you to eat, as well as some wonderful breads – one of which is just soaked in olive oil.  They then bring you bruschetta, salami & garlic bread.  We were pacing ourselves, as we heard that you could easily get full here.  We had a bottle of a Super Tuscan with our lunch, Fattoria Uccelliera – Castellaccio.  Mark had the Tuna Carpaccio for his starter & I had a pasta starter.  We both had the Langostino Risotto, which was a special for the day.  After having such a good Italina meal, we did what the Italians do, we walked around a bit after lunch. 

We took the four boxes to the post office & then packed up three more.  We probably have one to two more to pack tomorrow, so the count should be around 20 in total.  Our friend John who's been staying at our house, sent an e-mail yesterday, saying the boxes were piling up there.  We'll be home on Saturday to start sorting it all out. 

We were due to have dinner at Cru tonight, but Mark wasn’t feeling up to it, so we stayed in.
