On the road again

Palazzo Farnese's Renaissance looking Castle in Caprarola had some of the most beautiful frescoes that I have ever seen. The grounds were complete with gardens , hunting grounds and a hidden "pleasure house" at the back of the property.

We met GianPaulo at the resort. He helped us find a Mac repair shop to get our computer up and running, and has become a great friend helping us find so many cool villages all over Italy. He recommended most of what you see in our photos.Thank you GianPaulo!!
Looking over Marta & Capodimonte on this beautiful lake, reminds us a lot of home.Heading north to Frienze (Florence) we pass through some amazing countryside. We are on our way to spend 5 days just 23 Km outside of Florence in a village called Rufina.

Orvieta is home to the 1290 Romanesque/Gothic style Cathedral. Walking into the Piazza was breath taking at its beauty. Meeting students from Arizona doing exchanges was a great way to share our lunch time before moving on.

Ceramics in Italy are gorgeous. Good thing my suitcase is full because I could be doing a lot of "expensive" shopping.
