You guys might think he's getting an interesting life, but he just thinks I'm dragging him around yet another Italian hill town... p.s. check out those umpteenth-century carvings behind him (at least a thousand years old, I think).
A lovely false dandelion growing where a wall used to be.
Oh, at last! Teenager found something on this boring walk that interests him. A friendly cat (and plenty of them).
A glorious round building by an old old church... and... what's that just under the brown shutters?
Of course! A lion of Venice. Just in case you didn't realize that style of building was that many centuries old.
And here's the old church next door. Rather smaller than the house!
And laundry in medieval streets.
More laundry and a quite tall quite old building.
What's that? Did he actually walk ahead to look at something? Just two minutes ago he was proposing that he could go buy groceries and walk home while I finished my tour.
That man in the chair was having tea from a teapot while his coworkers plastered the building opposite and they talked and laughed and joked along.
Hm. Somebody sort of broke the Roman numeral rules when they wrote 1598.
To try to get Bored Teen to come along, I told him Thunder Mountain was just around the corner (it was kind of like exploring Disneyland. And look! There is something you only see in Disneyland (for me, anyway, before now!). A tree sculpted in concrete!
You know, that view of the vineyards and olive trees and sea that we're so used to by now.
It's like after the Disney tree or the cat or something, Bored Teen started joking more. This is quite a nice shot of geraniums and hill town and... er. maybe less nice. What a handsome lad.
