Switzerland/Italy Trip

Monday, Sep 8

Today we drove up to Diano d'Alba to see the Alps. Although it was too hard to see the Alps by the time we got there, the town itself was pretty. We'll go back there again tomorrow to do some wine tasting at the local enoteca. Then we drove to La Morra, which is up very high on a hill and gives a good view of the entire region.

For dinner we went to La Coccinella (means ladybug) in Serravalle Langhe. Pat and Gregg had the duck, Deb had a porcini mushroom dish, and I had swordfish. The primi, which was a lasagna with mushrooms, prawns and swordfish, was divine. The dinner was great, and we didn't get back to the castle until midnight.
