Day 16: Countryside
Today I went to a rural area of Italy. It was very calm and quiet here. The people were really nice and gave us some of their food so that we could eat there with them. Their houses were built of pure bricks making them very stable and warm for those cold fronts that come in the winter.
I did nothing else because I wanted to take a break. I had enough relaxation for the day outside enjoying the great wind and beautiful sun. ...
Sun Sand and Horses
... Rocio which is celebrated annually on Saturday, Sunday and Monday of Pentecost there
are up to 1.5 million visitors with a lot of them coming to the town on foot,horseback and in carts pulled by oxen.

So the next day's task was to investigate for certain what he thought it was. We had our meal and settled down for the night.

Spain again.
... edge for some ice cold beer. We started walking but the heat was just too much so I'm afraid that I wasn't going any further so we turned back and headed to the bar again. A very pleasant couple of hours was spent there watching the Olympics on the TV and enjoying the company. We had a meal there too of cod, chips and egg but not as you and I know it! Still it was delicious and only a few euros.
