While the others worked on the puzzle, I HAD to move my car for the Live Nativity. Since it was such a beautiful day, we figured we might as well take advantage of moving the car by going on an outing to Montecastello di Vibio.
Sharon thought Lilleputian thoughts and folded herself in the back, while Jim and his camera populated the front.

| Our coffee bar |
On a whim, we took a few white roads that went in the general direction, and hurrah! they got us where we wanted to be. We wandered up towards the bar for our second coffee, and saw a church...upon entering, we were blown away by the vaulted ceiling and its decorations (unlike any I've seen in the region). The presepe made us snicker a bit: it was an ENORMOUS baby with a Mary who was about as large as his foot.

| Isn't the ceiling beautiful? |

This is the right-hand door of the same church. We had to
have our coffee here because the bar was full. |
The bar (just across the piazza from the church) had outdoor seating with a VIEW! It was a lovely day, and we enjoyed the sunshine immensely.
A bit of wandering in this darling, well-kept town, and then we were off home via the ridge road!
Love,
Alexandra
