www.geniuslociumbria.com After meeting several of the Slow Travel members and realizing that I share the fundamental philosophy of the group, I have joined and even started a blog (MaryT). I have read with interest (and admiration!) many of the writings/entries of other members and gain inspiration from them. I am looking forward to exhanges with those of you who may be interested in my 39 years of living in Umbria and to hearing about your similar experiences or reactions to my "views" about life in Italy.
Genius Loci Country Inn- Bevagna - Umbria Hi and thank you for your welcome. I read your blogs and enjoy your humor and writing style. I am curious about your Friends of Fiesole screen name? Do you have an affiliation with Fiesole? I see you are a college administrator. Where and of what type? I would love to know more about you. Again, thanks for the welcome. Mary
We had the great pleasure of meeting Mary (and her two children) on our recent visit to Umbria, the day of the Umbria GTG! We stayed for one night at the delightful Genius Loci Country Inn, and I will have my review done soon!
Mary, you will be such a wonderful addition to this community! Welcome to the Slow Travel family! I'm so happy to see you here!
Hello Marcia, How nice to hear from you: I enjoyed your company and conversation so much at our table together. Thanks for the welcome and all the best. Mary
Thanks Palma, YOU were my inspiration and are my model of open, meaningful comunication and writing style. Your three times "welcome" means so much to me. I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you and how I felt an immediate affinity. A huge warm hello to you and Brad. Mary
A big welcome also from Vetralla! Fulvio and I also enjoyed meeting another expat who enjoys sharing our delightful lifestyle with visitors. I just returned from giving a presentation in a castle/museum here and the big question for the local tourism people is how they can entice foreign toursts to the area. I must open their eyes to read this forum!! and perhaps follow the lead of your Genius Loci. Great to have you aboard.
Hello Mary Jane, Hope your presentation went well. Thanks for your welcome. I am so glad you mentioned the get-together in Assisi when we first talked-I enjoyed it and the people so much. Thanks again. Mary
