Sunflowers and Castles

Okay....

So you know how we have been a little out of touch lately.....

Well, it's not because we have been 'oh so busy'....it's because we have been oh so lazy.....we have become accustomed to "Living on Italy Time....slowly......."

We have been taking a lot of roadtrips....just in the area.....there are so many cool things....but lately I have become fascinated with Castles and sunflowers of course....how could you not be......

There are 300 castles surrounding Todi....alone.....they were once used as look-out post.....so just tons of castles around here....seems like a castle on top of each hill....generally there are some little shops...usually a bar.....sometimes just a few families live there..and no retail at all....but all of them are cool and so very old.....hundreds and hundreds of years.....

Feels like I've told you this before.......I'll have to reflect back on some posts....

Anyway....the castles are amazing...and the sunflowers are gorgeous.....

Had no idea the sunflowers were so huge....bigger than your head and the plants are taller....now they are all pregnant looking...and the center is just bursting out...most of the flower petals are gone...I'll have to send you some pictures...I'm anxious to find out how they harvest them....stay tuned...

And I'll send more castle pictures...sorry but you must endure!
