Dirt Roading in Umbria







Well......we love going 'dirt-roadin''.....and it is just as much fun in Italy.....in our area of Umbria any way....
This is the area around Todi in the Fall.....the fields of the beautiful colors are actually Sangrantino grape vineyards near Montefalco....they have the best colors....just rolling hills of them....the other vineyards just kind of dry up and die.....so it was spectacular to see the rolling fields of these.....
We also happened upon a herd of lambs...had to have been hundreds of babies...everywhere..all the same size......so cute....this was in a little area called Lorgnano...Leyla told us later that there was a shepherd who lives here and sells fresh Ricotto and Pecorino cheese.....should have ventured a little further into the town there....The next day Sue, Fran and Susan took the same drive and actually got some really cool shots newborn lambs....newborn..... newborn....

The other picture is just a cool bridge....we found some really cool places while dirt roadin'......the colors are fantastic...
