As Promised - Introducing Canale!

On my trip [T minus 2 days!], I will be spending the most time with my friends in Canale Monterano, Italy [just North of Rome... check google maps]. My friend, Claudio, his son, Adrian, his mom, Rosella, his brother, Tulio, Tulio's wife, Mara, cousin Tulio, other cousin Tulio, Mario, Mauritzio, all the other cousins and friends, and all the other great people of Canale await.

While there we'll visit the neighbouring towns, the beaches [both salty and fresh], Rome, some Etruscan tombs, Florence [perhaps], and a few other choice sites. All while trying, most days, to make it home for lunch, or there will be hell to pay with Rosella.

Canale has the castle, a market, some swell old buildings, picturesque streets, a beautiful landscape, five bars... all one could want!

Here are some photos to introduce the place to those who might be interested [currently, me and Melinda, if the
sitemeter is to be believed]:

Great pics Peter....other than the funny, slightly Italian looking guy. Looking forward to spending 10 days together in Italian style relaxation (Italian...relax...oxymoron). Fast or slow pace, we shall live it to the fullest amoung the beautiful landscapes, wonderful locales, and slightly inbred but hugely amusing Canale natives. Ciao Pietro!!
