Today we went to the Adriatic coast, which is only about a 30 minute drive away. We first went for a little hike down a peaceful treed path.
Every once in a while, you'd come to a clearing with a gorgeous view that looked something like this.
...or this...
...or then again, this...
...or this.
Would you believe... this...
Like I said - gorgeous views. But wait, it gets even better. We drove up the coast a bit further, and had to stop the car at one point on the side of the road to admire the view and take a few more snapshots.
Then we stopped for lunch in Sirolo, which is a small town overlooking the sea. A few more gorgeous views... These were taken right outside the patio at which we were having lunch.
And of course, being an Italian town in Le Marche, the churches were not too far from anything.
Now, we're back at the villa having a little rest before going out for dinner.
There's an open air opera theatre in Macerata, the town right nearby. They have an opera festival that starts July 18, which is the day we are leaving this place, so sadly, I will not be able to attend the opera. However, if my Italian is good enough, I believe tonight they have a dress rehearsal, and since it's "open air", we might actually be able to catch some of it. It's worth a wander by.
