This 1 time when we drove the Italian countryside
One of mine & Jon's favorite things to do on vacation is rent a car and get out to the surrounding cities.

They strike each hour and half hour but yesterday there were melodic peels out across the Umbrian ...
Truffle hunting
A drive over the mountains and to the top of one above Spoleto found us at a farm for truffle hunting. Two days earlier had been the first rain for 100 years.
