Piccolo Paese

Massimo's family house in the country is beautiful. Saturday night we cooked, drank wine, sat around the fireplace, talked, laughed (a lot!) played some silly games (laughing a lot more) and eventually collapsed into bed. Sunday morning we woke up to the sounds of the birds singing, and the smell of the fresh mountain air scented with pine.
Incredible, really. Its a side of Italy that not many people see for real - in a small paese with a house with beams and a cellar, and stocks of wine and salami, and a wood burning stove. With nothing for miles around. Its completely relaxing and just what was needed after all the exams and everything.
The pics don't do it justice, but here are some anyway....
