Hiked to wonderful small lakes, through enchanted forests, past wood sculptures, pastures full of wildflowers, and through small villages.

Could see a castle in distance on the other side of the ravine…OK let’s go for it.

Walked and walked and finally located this wonderful castle. A young woman who lived in the castle (her father was the caretaker) gave us a personal and informative tour. Then off to the bus stop…just down the road…

Trying to absorb the colors, textures and scents of this magnificent area and la dolce vita – the sweet joy of everyday life.
