A Walk in Ivrea

After the market (goodness- coulda stayed there all day!!) we drove through some adorable villages and wound our way up into the hills. Our hosts made us a fabulous meal from our market purchases and then we headed outside for a walk while their adorable (but tired) twins took a nap. On their land they have a great kitchen garden, a cheese cave (!!!), and keep a few chickens and geese. Griffin was thrilled when he found both a chicken egg and a goose egg - and was given them to bring home! He REALLY liked those birds...
We wandered around a nearby vacant property which was just so fun! The dates carved into the stone lintels were 1883 and 1889. Can you imagine?
It was a lovely visit and I hope to meet up with this kind and very generous family again before we leave.
