Oh, forgetfulness. But I mustn''t forget quickly to leave you with something that impressed me from Communanza, the city in Le Marche in which we did our marketing. Nothing gorgeous here to catch your eye; just a convenient place nearby to shop. But look at the sign above the main market street (enlarge it if you can).

It seems Le Marche is not only a region of living well; it's a region of living long. The sign celebrates this region being one noted for the longevity of its inhabitants. Indeed, people there told me of their neighbors who are over 100, and have birh certificates to prove it.
Is it quality or quantity that most interests you? Well, asking a resident we befriended, he told us that his neighbor, a woman now having reached 100, was complaining to him as she continued gardening at full pace, that she no longer felt spry enough to cut the firewood herself!
So what's the secret? I've got quite some years to travel before I know. But I'm looking forward to it!
