This is an area of Italy I would love to explore (wonder if there are horseback tours down that way - must investigate). I do envy your beautiful trip!<br /><br />You have me longing for Italian food- especially the chocolate. There is a new market in my area that sells a lot of imported Italian candies. I should just make your bark instead though.<br /><br />The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-45098709912713581052012-12-13T10:02:33.979-08:002012-12-13T10:02:33.979-08:00Gorgeous photos of a breath-taking place.
