Maundy Thursday. We decided to go back to Amelia and look at some the shops we had seen on Tuesday. (They were all closed for lunch when we were there.) So we headed out with plenty of time. We had a very enjoyable time walking the streets, dodging cars, and finding little treats. There was a charity sale for disabled people. They were selling wonderfully painted egg cups that were made in Amelia. They each had chocolate eggs. We all bought some. We also found the traditional Italian big chocolate egg for Easter. You crack them open and they have treats inside, but the real treat is the delicious chocolate! Here's a picture of the sale table:
We walked a bit around the town outside the old town as well. We picked up a tourist map, and there was an advertisement for a restaurant in a hotel across the canyon on the other side of Amelia that looked beautiful. So we headed over there and enjoyed an excellent lunch with a fabulous view of Amelia. Here's the view:
After lunch we went to the big Coop grocery in Amelia and bought some of our Easter provisions. We headed home and enjoyed more bocce and a light supper to round off the day.
