Back to Carenno

We arrived back in Carenno about 2pm to a wonderful warm welcome from Beppe Raso. Lunch was laid on and involved even more food than we really needed - but this didn't stop us from finishing everything that was offered! A diet is on the cards.



Lunch with the Raso family

We spent the afternoon and evening with the Raso family sharing our incredible experience. Italians are very empathetic people and fully participate in each other's lives and events, which makes recollecting experiences such fun. We talked for hours about many things and developed a wonderful bond.

Sunday morning we had a long breakfast as per usual with everyone sitting at the table together. Afterwards, Beppe, Delia, Nadine and I took Flash for a walk around the village. We were fortunate enough to witness the annual horse trading fair. The trading involved a breed of horses used as working horses in the mountains. The horses were very strong, but also hansome with light brown bodies and blond manes and tails. There were various food stalls at the fair and we couldn't resist buying some fresh salami and cheese to take on our journey to Venice.

 After a beautiful lunch with a special sausage and vino we started our 2.5 hr drive to Venice......It was hard saying goodbye to Beppe, Delia, Margerita and Martina but we know we will see them all again in the future.
