Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- 40th Anniversary Dinner
After a leisurely morning we hiked into the village of Semur-(en-Auxois) to explore. It was a bit of a trek with plenty of stairs but it is pretty magical with very well preserved buildings from medieval times. It sits above a lush, green valley and the Armançon river. Back at our hotel we change and head to the town of Saulieu for dinner at Le Relais Bernard Loiseau, a Michelin 2-Star restaurant and inn. We ate and stayed there in 1997 on our tenth wedding anniversary (when it had 3 stars and was a huge splurge) so it had special meaning. The service was impeccable and the food was beautiful but, sadly, it was not delicious. C’est la vie!
