Don’t know how the new Bill Cosby biography is being reviewed.

But Spello, tiny sister-city to Kraft Foods, gets high marks from us.

Apart from speeding cars, a lovely little town.  With more and older remnants than most.  Three Roman gates, and many well-preserved walls.

Nothing here, clearly, to rival Assisi.  Even if (on first arrival) one pair we met asked if we knew the route for hiking there, and much later (upon reaching, so we hoped, the top of the hill) we thought we could see it in the hazy distance.

Yet just that “nothing much to write home about” is part of Spello’s charm, part of what draws us near, part of what invites us to slow down, enjoy here the time there’s always room for.
