We have had terrible weather for the last week--monsoon-like conditions on some days and pretty cool for this time of year. Thankfully, Sunday was actually pretty nice (at least in comparison). The walk started in San Cassiano a Vico, an area we are interested in for a new home. It is really a pretty walk and no hills. It includes sections on paved roads...
...and some sections through the fields.
The poppies are blooming everywhere right now. They are particularly prolific alongside the roads.
Here we passed a neat planting of young olive trees. They looked like someone had laid them out with a tape measure.
This is a nice looking house but too close to the road and no garden.
This is the most interesting thing we saw along the way--this old section of wall with the new townhouses behind it. Actually, the end unit is for sale. Hmmm.
After we got home from the walk, we started moving tiles (piled on the lower level of the patio) up to where our friend Don could pick them up in his car. We sold them to him for his renovation project. It took him four trips (at least) to take them all away. I made frittata for the three of us for lunch.
Afterwards, Dom watched the Spanish Formula 1 race. If you are wondering about the weird setup it has to do with pulling the neighbor's TV antenna cable in through the window and hooking it up to our TV. The neighbors do not have a television and the cable has just been hanging there so Dom "borrowed" it. This all became necessary because SKY Italia is not broadcasting the races this season. Since we do not have an antenna of our own (just the satellite dish) we have been raceless until now. By the next race we will be out of the house. A television antenna of our own is on the list for the next house.
Be sure and keep reading as I have published three blog posts today!
