As promised (albeit a bit late in delivery), a photo tour of our September/October trip to northern Italy. To make it a bit more organized, I've broken the photos up by:
 |
| Jam Crostata in La Spezia |
- Delicious Foods
- Beautiful Faces
- Adorable Animals
 |
| Buckwheat Cake with Cherry Jam in Teglio |
 |
| Sbrisolona in Rovato |
 |
| Cheese, glorious cheese, in Brixen |
 |
| Fresh pasta with olives, capers, tomatoes, and ricotta in Brixen |
- Gorgeous Landscapes
I hope you enjoy taking the tour as much as I did putting it together. Pour yourself a glass of wine (better yet, make a refreshing
Aperol Spritz), or whip up a cappuccino, find a comfy chair, and take a virtual journey to northern Italy.
Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy, and delicious 2020!
