The Sunday Salon: Adoro l'Italia! (I Love Italy!)

 

Welcome! I'm happy you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. What is the Sunday Salon? The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week plus it's a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

Hi, everybody! Yes, I realize this post looks oddly like last week's post. I was pretty sure I wouldn't have a lot of time to write while I'm off in Italy, so I threw together something to suffice while I'm gone. Please bear with me.

We are staying in a lovely house in Piedmont, in the northern part of Italy. Today we took a walk through the vineyards in Borolo and tasted several different types of Borolo wines, some of which grow in sandy soils and some of which grow in clay soils, at a tasting room. It was so fun!

I haven't read much but we walked 18,000 steps the first day we were here and today we walked 10,000...so we have been a little busy.

I hope all is well with you, and I plan to check in on you when I get back from our adventures tomorrow at a nearby island.

Readerbuzz is happily touring Italy in September.

I've scheduled a Sunday Salon that will post early each Saturday morning in September.

I plan to visit everyone's blogs as usual while I am away...

Here is what I am reading while I'm away in Italy...
