Terni, Italy – 2016 – iPhone
We had a fun day with our friends, Enrico & Letizia Consoli! They took us to a pretty little village, Piediluco. Upon returning to their home they told us to relax, so I did!

Drizzly Day
Como, Italy – 2016 – iPhone
It was a wet drizzly day in Merone, Italy, but that didn’t stop us! We drove to Como to find a friend we hadn’t seen in years. We weren’t sure if we’d find her, if the phone numbers we had would work. The first one didn’t but the second one did! She was as excited to hear from us as we were excited that we found her! She invited us to her home and we had such a nice visit! As we left, I ran up the stairs to look out a window, hoping for a view of Como and I found it! ENJOY!

We had a wonderful time with our friends Lorenzo Perticaroli, Lorenza Perticaroli & Emanuele Guidara! It rained while we ate lunch together so, when we went outside everything was fresh with the moisture from the rain! I took this photo of their olive grove and the beautiful view behind it, in Poggio Nativo, Italy.

Hadrian’s Villa
Castel Sant’Angelo
Rome, Italy – 2016 – iPhone
We decided to take a walk thru Rome. We walked along the Tiber River and saw some beautiful sights! Castel Sant’Angelo was built by the Emperor Hadrian as a tomb for he and his family in 134 AD. His ashes were placed here a year after he died in 138 AD. In later years it became a fortress for Popes. Today it is a museum.

Alanno, Italy – 2016 – iPhone
Craig’s barber’s (in Rome) daughter and her husband run a beautiful hotel and restaurant, Villa Alessandra, here in Alanno, Italy. The setting is beautiful, picturesque! When I think of getting away from the world, the busy city, life, one of the places I think of is Alanno!
Pescara to Rome
Cocullo, Italy – 2016 – iPhone
One of my favorite drives, in the whole world, is the road from Rome to Pescara! I counted how many tunnels there are many years ago, but I have since forgotten, about 20ish, I think! The best thing is that you are on as many bridges, if not more! As you come out of a tunnel you are up high on a bridge and you can see some of the most beautiful scenery! Lush green everywhere, beautiful farmlands, gorgeous countryside, but my favorite are the little villages nestled into the mountainsides or sitting on a pinnacle high above the world below. Of course, they were originally built high up for protection but, today they stand as monuments to a vast array of history! This day we took the same road, but this time in the opposite direction from Pescara to Rome, not as good because you miss one of my favorite villages, but still fun and enjoyable!
