It was our second full day with Caroline and Dan today.  Caroline and I headed off early to walk a track in a local park, looking for inspiration for a fibre arts project Caroline will be doing.  The track followed a small stream, with some lovely autumn colors in the surrounding foilage.  While the track itself was fine, there was almost no signage (track names, walking times etc) so it was a bit of a magical mystery tour.  

While we were walking, Dan was smoking chicken and pork for our lunch and dinner – with John doing a bit of fetching and carrying.  Both were extremely tasty!!

We had a quiet afternoon, getting ready to try some fabric dyeing techniques over the next few days.  Tomorrow we are off to meet a friend of Caroline where I will be expected to practice my italian (!) and then off to a winery for a tasting.  Here, unlike NZ or Australia, tastings are generally charged for, starting around $20 and going up from there.

Some pictures of our walk will follow…
