Remembering another great day in Italy before going back to work.

Well back to work today ... back to the grind! ha ha! Thought I would take a look at another great day we spent in Italy ... If I look one day at a time I will saver the memory ... I hope. This snap is the view from our deck at the house ... WOW! I loved it.

The older people next door had a problem with the tomato plants ... they all fell over. Andy and Ben went over to help ... They could not speak English but they understood that the guys wanted to help them put in new posts.

They offered us a bunch of beautiful tomatoes, nothing tastes like a vine ripe tomato from a garden in Italy!



This is looking over the bridge in Bagnone, it was amazing.


Off for another adventure ....this little truck was parked outside the house.





This is in Corniglia. The drive up and around and around the mountains was so fun and the town so beautiful.






Grapes all over the hills




Down to the water ... a major climb








We had to have ice cream after all that.







I shared mine with a little cat. Okay cats are all over the place and they are kind of like pets, people feed them at times but they are not pets really live on the streets....it killed me.





Okay check out this wine bar in Corniglia ... so cute






They use this thing to get the grapes up and off the hills ... you can see the lead cables running along the hills. We bought a bottle of wine from the area and met with the wine maker at his little wine bar.
