Corfino Hike

Today was everyone's favorite hike.It was a nice mainly sunny day, and we started in a very pretty small town of Corfino. The start was quite steep uphill, and we had fabulous views across the valley. The hike was a loop that took us around a mountain. We crossed a couple of scree slopes, then through some woods and along a stream. About 2 1/2 hours to a small village occupied only in summer. Lots of cows wandering around. We ate our picnic lunch on the grounds of the refuge, along side the cows. The loop back to the village took us up first and through a cow pasture, then a steep zigzag trail back down to the village. The footing was much better than the other day so we made good time, about 2 hours. I could feel my knees though! We stopped at a small Auberge in the village with a lovely patio for refreshment. I had an espresso first to wake me up, then a Campari & soda. On the way back to the Agrotourismo we stopped at the Co-op to see what they made. They have a lot of spelt products, also jams & beans. I bought some Chestnut flour and fig jam, very reasonable!
Now back to relax for the evening.
