The Smallest Little Town We Have Ever Seen

Bill and I are alive and doing fine. We are staying in a very remote village until Sunday when we move to Rome. We do not have Internet so I am not able to post my blog or be in contact with anyone.

To get to this town, we drove on an extremely narrow, winding road, to get to the top of the hill to our town. As usual, though it should have been only a one way road, it was a two way road. On some spots there would be a traffic sign with one arrow pointing up and the other arrow pointing down. One arrow was red and the other was black. This sign was at a point in the road which was too narrow for two-way traffic and apparently, the car going in the direction of the black arrow had the right-of-way. Fortunately, we did not meet any cars at these points to test this theory.

We are in a hill town called Roccotederigghi. It is beautiful if quite remote. Yesterday it was foggy and rainy all day and we had to stay in our little apartment. We nearly lost our mind. Today is sunny and warmer so we drove into a nearby town called Grosetto where we found this internet cafe. We have some beautiful photos of this town but are unable to post photos until we have our regular Internet service, hopefully on Sunday. We will post the photos then.

Sunday morning we leave for Rome. We hope to continue the blog at that point.
