Apuan Alps

Today we explored the northernmost area of Tuscany with large mountains full of carrera marble and lush valleys with rivers, lakes and surprisingly more modern towns (victorian era). 

We went to a charming town for lunch named Barga.  At the highest point there is a 13th century church which was having service at the time we visited. The view was stunning and Leona loved how the choir and organ sounded in this cavernous church.  She thinks any building we go into that has a large echo is naturally a church. 

Then we stopped to see this medieval bridge built in the 13th century.

Nikon Sucks!

I should have some incredible photos for you by now but the lens that I have sent to Nikon for warranty repair twice in the last month is not working again. Ugh!
Instead I’ll show you some photos from Leona’s camera. It’s fun to see Italy from her eyes anyway.

Katherine and Alice in Orvieto

 

There were many more pics – most of my butt.  I’ll spare you those.
