My dinner last night was fabulous. Come to find out, the restaurant has won many awards. I ordered the pasta they are famous for which was rigatoni covered in butter and parmesan and sausage. Very rich but like your plate good. I didn't finish this huge order. Then I had grilled chicken (which I immediately placed in a baggie in m purse. It was served with chicory. The only thing that I knew about chicory was they make coffee out of it during the war. Turns out, it is very much like collard or turnip greens, which I happen to love. I didn't pack it because that just wouldn't have worked. This was cooked with garlic and bacon. I skipped dessert because I was stuffed.
Today was very up and down and back up again. After about two hours, I did walk through a town and stopped for a Coca-cola Zero. It is always nice to be able to take a break and use a real toilet.
Notice the Rosary hanging from the cross. I could make up a lot of stories as to why.
This is the first fence.
And this is the neighbor's fence. One with greenery and one without. They are so unusual, and I am sure it would cost a fortune to replicate either one
This little store made me laugh. To heck with those throwaways that come in our Sunday paper. Let's just paste it all on the front of the store.
I only saw one open church today and, I thought the main altar was pretty.
In Italy, you always have to look up. I started thinking how odd that is because in church you are usually looking down in prayer and the floors are always so plain. Hmmmm.
I have seen lots and lots of solar power in Italy. I've seen panels on houses, churches, businesses, etc. Wonder when we are going to move into the future. We are a third world country when it comes to energy.
So I get to my hotel and it is still kinda early afternoon and no one is around. I decide what I want more than anything at that exact moment is a diet coke with ice....cold, refreshing. I walk around the area but can't find a bar so I go back to the Camino and I walk and walk. After about half a mile, I began asking people how far to a bar and they say 15 minutes. After the second time, I hear this my already stubborn hard-headed-self kicks in, I am going to find that bar if I have to walk across Europe, After about two miles I find a bakery that also serves diet coke. I managed to turn a 15.8-mile day into a 20.1- mile day. Oh, well.
I not only ordered one Coca-cola Zero but two. I had picnicked on chicken and I was sorta hungry so I ordered two of these little cupcake-looking things. Not a cupcake at all. The whole interior was something like almond paste and in the very center was a very tasty cherry filling. YUM!
