We made it back to our east Tennessee hills. Over the next few weeks, we’ll edit and post video and more pictures. HUGE thanks to John and Stacy for holding down the fort, Bob and Ruby for transportation assistance, and Peggy for plant-sitting!
We had a wonderful time, saw amazing architecture and art, experienced incredible terrain (and twisties), made new friends, drank great wine (and meloncello), ate fabulous food, and at the end of the trip we somehow managed still fit in the same clothes. We’re already trying to figure out how to go again!
It seems only fitting that for our last day in Italy, we visited the Duomo di Milano. On the tallest spire and with a replica inside is a statue of the Virgin Mary – Madonnina. It is said that “the Madonnina’s protection is offered to whoever finds joy in looking at her, anyone who gazes at her and takes a moment for reflection.” 
Nothing but blue skies for the ride today of some of the most beautiful mountain passes in Italy, the Sella region.
