Still Adventuring!

 A couple weeks ago we went to Limone for the day. The weather was amazing! First we went into town to buy some yummy stuff for lunch. The bread and grissini are better in Limone because they're made with the freshest mountain spring water. We bought plenty of that plus some sweets from the bakery and then bought some pasta sauce, cheese and appetizers from the gastronomy store. With all our purchases in tow, we headed up the Roman road to our house. The puppy took a dip in the river and Giulio laughed as he watched Olney splash around.

We had to take a million pictures because they sky was SO blue and the sun SO bright! We stopped in the field and sat in the grass with Giulio for a little bit. There were saffron flowers sprinkled throughout the field and it felt more like spring than fall. There aren't so many maples here, so we don't get the fall colors I'm used to in the US, but the mountains are ALWAYS an amazing backdrop.


When Giulio was just a couple weeks old, we took him to Baladin pub for the first time. Ever since, he's been checking out the pub scene once a week! When we arrive, it's right out of Cheers, everyone says "Hi Giulio! How are you today?"  A little while ago we met up with Alisea with her Mom & Dad at Baladin. Giulio was SO cute, petting Alisea.

On Saturday we went to the Cantina of La Morra for the biannual barolo tasting. Giulio only drinks the best wines! We're VIPs there and Giulio gets lots of cuddles from all our friends at the cantina!

After the tasting we went to the Osteria More e Macine which was recommended to us by our local friends. I had my first pork belly and all the food was really good and we spent less than we had expected!
