A Walk in the Italian Countryside!

Our host Shoshanna

Marge and I were invited by our host on a walk in the countryside to view the spring wild flowers. We drove into the foot hills of the Apeninnes Mountains south of Bologna and parked just outside of a tiny village called Scoscoli. Surounded by steep hills on all sides the views were beautiful with wild flowers everywhere and fields of lush green grasses! The weather has just turned warm and the trees are only beginning to leaf. We hiked a couple of miles and then stopped at a perfectly charming tiny village with a trattoria where we talked and laughed for hours. It was very soothing to be in the quiet countryside after the hustle of Bologna. Grazie Shoshanna.
