March 12 - Tesserete to Odogno

 We took the bus to the town of Tesserete. A sunny day today but still with the bit of haze. We really didn't know where we wanted to go, so we just followed one of the hiking signs to see where it would lead us! On the way, I took this picture looking back down on Tesserete.

 Passing through the nucleo of an area nearby called Campestro.  I love these old, stone areas!

 Another part of the area called Campestro. It's so charming in these areas, which are found in almost every old center of every town, but it's not always easy to live there. It's hard to always walk on the uneven stones, and of course, there are no cars in these areas (well, there are if the lane is wide enough!) So every time you need to use your car, you have to walk out into some parking area.

So the hiking sign, which can also just say "sentiero", (path), led us into a valley. On the way we see this sheep. Hey fellow, who was your hairdresser!!!! Poor thing just had clumps of wool here and there.

On the way back at the apartment we did a little grocery shopping. I bought some peanuts, which I find so funny the way they pack them. They are shrink wrapped so tight, it's really like a brick. And then it's fun to cut a little hole and hear the shhhhh of air filling in. Oh the little joys in life!
