Scanno

Today was a very rainy day. I spent the morning in Sulmona walking in the rain and caught the train to Scanno in the afternoon. The trip to Scanno was breathtaking. The view was amazing with the wispy trees and the snowcapped mountains. The bus had to beep its horn coming around the bend because of the narrow road. Scanno is a very small, picturesque hilltop town.

When I arrived I had to find a hotel on a Sunday. This is not an easy task. After knocking for over 10 minutes, I determined that the first hotel was closed; apparently their daughter was having a baby (I found this out at the local bar). The bar told me that the Garden Hotel was the best in Scanno (this was way down the hill).

So in the rain I walked down the hill to find the Garden Hotel totally vacant. Up the hill again to where I started. After over 1 1/2 hours I decided to stay at the hotel right on the square (I know you are asking yourself why I didn’t stay there in the beginning??? My husband asked me the same thing).

The plan is to spend tomorrow morning seeing Scanno (I hope the rain stops) and to be at Farm 5 by 3pm. I am very excited about the next and last farm.

Ciao for now
