Day 10: Assisi and Mike's Birthday Celebration

Tim went with Bryan, Mark and Mike to see Assisi. He took some nice pictures. I don't know what they are, and he can't remember. Oh, well....






And he brought me a souvenir! A kneeling St. Francis of Assisi snow globe! How thoughtful he is!

Then back at the villa, it is time for Mike's birthday celebration--the reason we are all here!

Ana and Mari are our chefs for the evening. On the menu: a traditional Italian dinner.

Let the feasting begin! Mike is enjoying the antipasti:  prosciutto, salami, fresh bruschetta con pomodori, Italian sausage on toast, and two cheeses.

Next, risotto con funghi.

Mike licked his plate clean!

Mari brings the cabbage salad.

And of course, traditional osso bucco!

A round of toasts for the Birthday Boy!

And the grand finale--the birthday cake. Panna cotta covered chocolate cake.

Tim and I under the Tuscan moon! What a great way to help a friend celebrate his birthday!
