Sunday I was back at the Apple Fest in Cavour as I had promised my German friend that I'd take her to see it.  When we went last week Grace was being obstinate, (shocking), and refused to walk up the huge rock/hill, (that looks like a meteor dropped from the heavens), that the town built is around.  So GP and I left her sitting on the stone steps at the beginning of the trail and sauntered away feeling very proud of our parenting skills, ("Well she can just sit and wait! We'll teach her!").  We made it about a third of the way up the enormously steep path, got out of breath and decided we'd do it another time because "we didn't want to leave Grace alone for too long".  Uh huh.  Anywho... so this time my girlfriend and I walked to the top, with many pauses to catch our breath and calm our racing hearts, and had a great view of the town below.  We would have had an even better view of the mountains a short distance away but it was overcast. Alas. We ate apple stuff and drank apple stuff and bought apples and apple stuff and then came home.  Next weekend is the Chocolate Fest in Torino!  xxoo me

Almost at the top!  Monument to some Saint.

The view over Cavour.
