Today we did some more hiking right around here in the little village of Vols where we are staying. The vistas are beautiful and there are plentiful hikes of all kinds and varieties so we decided against taking the bus to Castelrotto. We walked to the castle in the next little village over from ours, which took us through some beautiful farmland in the valley. The route back was more rigorous than we thought it would be, dipping us down into the valley quite a ways before bringing us back up to the village of Vols. We were walking right through farms, past horses and goats and even an alpaca and lama! My allergies are terrible today. Had to take meds before we left for the hike, which was an 24 hour antihistamine and then had to take another, different one this evening as I can't stop sneezing. The combination of the mowing of the meadows which has been going on all around me, walking through farms, with hay and horses and cows, the fact that it has been windy here today so the pollen and animal dander and cut grass is blowing on the breeze has made for some first class allergies for me! This really is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, I must say. Everywhere you turn there are gorgeous vistas and colorful flowers and the mountains are breathtaking. Will be sad to leave tomorrow. Back to Rome tomorrow and then home on Monday.
