In Italy: on Sunday, the women walk, the men watch football

After the Indian Dinner feast at about 3 o'clock Antonella suggested that we go for a walk. Even though I felt STUFFED, and tired, I figured this is a good idea and IF Vanda can do it, so can I.
We took about a two mile loop going past an old aristocratic estate, where the same family still lives, up to a sanctuary of some kind, we just kept walking. It was such a nice day, a real feel of it is almost early spring, not too unlike it can be in Portland at this time of year.
This just PART of the old estate, they have their own chapel, and other buildings, all enclosed by big thick rock walls. but the gossip is that they are poor inside there, just hanging on.
After the walk, almost back to the car, kind of nice to take a break, Vanda is holding up just fine.
Looking the other way, back to Alme and Bergamo. Great to feel the sun on our faces. Afterwards, I joined the guys, to watch football, I AM A MILANISTA. Fun to watch.
