Veroli and Trisulti


Today we went to a very old mountain town called Veroli.  It was very hilly, rocky and quaint.  We saw two gorgeous old churches with many relics inside.  Markets in the morning sold everything from quilts, vegetables, fish, meat and breads.  We bought some little donut-like pastries covered with sugar that were very good but would have been even better with an espresso or cafelatte.  When it started to rain, we got back in the car and drove to Trisulti--an old Cistercian abbey.  Here is the website with many pictures if you want to see it.  http://www.casamari.it/old/trisulti_english.html

When we got there, it was closed for lunch--that is from noon until 3:30pm.  Siesta time.  We are still getting used to that!  Everyday brings new opportunities!
