Saturday May 25-Baone

We were still working on time change issues. Preston was awake, happy, and ready to play at 4:30am. 

 We spent time reading and hanging out at the house to give everyone a chance to rest.  

We then got a great tour of the area from Illenia.  We went for a short hike to a local church that was built in the 1200s.  The views were stunning, and the kids loved just being able to run around and explore.  

Illenia's son doesn't speak English, and our kids don't speak Italian, but being silly is a universal boy language. 

We explored the vineyards, 

And the olive orchard, where we got stuck and had to push our car out.  

We were amazed by our  lunch.  While we were out hiking Illenia was picking fresh herbs, which we then ate in our risotto along with Bolognese on fettuccine noodles her mom had made fresh.

  That afternoon we went to explore a nearby castle city Montagnana

They were having a farmers market which gave us a chance to try out more yummy food.  Prosciutto with Melon and Focaccia.
