Urbino
This is the palace in Urbino, which is a great town in Le Marche. We stayed there for only one night, but it was made memorable for a few reasons: Greg's continued investigation into the correct proportions for Campari and soda; the worlds' grumpiest waiter; eating pasta strozzapreti (priest-stranglers!); and finally, stumbling upon the regional fair late at night when going for a post-priest-strangler stroll! Everybody was there and having a good time up on one of the hills above the village - grandma, grandpa, grandkids, mothers, fathers, strangers were all dancing together. After all the cultural riches of Italy, it was very gratifying to see that they have their own version of the 'Chicken Dance'!!!!!!
