Castelli and Golf

Drake had an afternoon off, so we took a drive to a little town called Castelli. I love it that we have a new area to explore. This town is known for their ceramics. About 80% of the people that live here work in some way or another with ceramics, they even have part of the school day dedicated to learning how to make ceramics.
This is an outside view of the city while we were driving in, very pretty.

Easy to get lost in these little walkwaysWe ran into this couple who was busy working. They invited us in. I was so impressed, and felt a little jealous, that Drake was able to carry on a 20 minute conversation with them. I am committed to working on my Rosetta Stone.

They told us that the church of Castelli was worth a visit. The entire ceiling is all hand painted ceramics.


The next day we decided to go somewhere again and really unknowingly I hopped in the car and asked "where are we going today?" To a golf course! Not exactly where I would choose to go, but I was happy to go somewhere. Pretty rare around here, Drake looked one up and wanted to check it out. It was about an hour away. Drake rented some clubs to work on his short game.
Pretty views
Things I noticed about italian golf courses:
-more expensive
- more colorful wardrobe (which I like)
-pets are allowed

I got in on the action as well. Grip it and Rip it
