It was a beautiful drive up the hillside, with great views and all the glories of springtime - including lots of sheep! We parked outside the gate of the old town and made our way up the very steep roads. There was a lot of traffic - we hadn't remembered that from 9 years ago - and the roads are very narrow. So it was dodge vehicles and keep yourself pressed up against the wall! Here's Wally checking out the only cars that should be allowed on the roads in the old town of Amelia:
We had hoped to see the extensive Roman cisterns that are under the city, but sadly they are not open during the week until the summer. So we continued up to the church from where there are gorgeous views. Here's picture of us at the top:
We found a little shop open that sold pizza, tramezzini and beverages and stopped there for a little lunch. Then we made our way out of the old town and headed down the beautiful drive back to the villa.When we returned, we had time for some Bocce on the court behind the villa. It was girls against boys. Sadly, the boys won. The cats didn't care one way or another!
We had Dolores leftovers (there were plenty!) for dinner and celebrated the Faddens time with us all here at Le Terrae.
