From Svizzera to Campania

A day in Torino.

Torino at sunset.

The river running through the city.

Sion, Switzerland.

MOM!  We found your car.  It's a Panda Fiat.  Buy one.

Castle overlooking Sion.  When we got to the top we were greeted by a nice Swiss man who opened the chapel for us to see.  

Almost to the top...

Inside the castle.  What a view!

The chapel.  The only part of the castle that survived a fire.  

Sion from the castle view. 

Gateway to old Siena. This city is truly Tuscan.

Carciofo in one of the many food shops in Siena.

Piazza del Campo. Site of the famous Palio horse race held twice a year.

Gelato. Its too good.

San Gimignano, a medieval village overlooking the fields of Toscana. Really an incredible place.

Toscana in all its beauty. 

Village walls surrounding San Gimignano.

Napoli from the safety of our room balcony.

Our first night in Napoli lead us on a walk through the many piazzas.

Pick up soccer anyone?

Easter celebrations start a week early in Italy and we are guessing this parade had something
to with the holiday. 

Posing in Pompeii. Good to have fresh air and lots of space after the worst train ride from Napoli.

Objects that were preserved after the volcano overtook Pompeii.

Not sure what it is but it was really pretty.

Theater with an incredible view in Pompeii.

Without the guide recorder, we are guessing this is a bathing room.

The streets of Pompeii, watch your step.

Pompeii. Beautiful.

Chiesa at top of hill in Cessole, Piemonte.

Looking down onto Cessole.  

Dopo troppo vino.

Acqui Terme on my birthday.  A day filled with sweet treats.

BBQ lunch.  The cook, Giovanni.  Luca in the background and Eugenia on my left.

Giovanni and Eugenia were the other two WWOOFers at the farm.

Cowboy without a horse.

Tenuta Antica, agroturismo.

Making tagliatelle fresco for the restaurant after having a two minute tutorial in Italian.  Yep, we are that good.  Haha.    

Out comes the pasta.  We want one at home.

Maggie and I's masterpiece.  Irrigation included thanks to Mauro and his brute strength. 

Hard at work replacing broken vine stakes and putting shelters on newly planted ones.  

Ci vediamo crai!  Tribute to all our friends in Sicignano.

Torino.  We were glad we decided to come here even if it was only for one night.  Maggie wants to live here.  If you ever visit Italy Torino should be on your list.

Scared to be in creepy Cessole.
