Day 1

We had a long trip from Canada!  Our flight to Italy was delayed by 2 1/2 hours because of a "little: problem with the engine!  Yikes!  We finally arrived and saw what I thought was relatively flat land in Rome.  I would later come to appreciate flat land!  Jessica, our wonderful agent, met us at the airport and arranged for us to be bussed to our first agrafarm.  These farms are like bed and breakfasts   on a farm.  We would eat what is grown.  But on the way we stopped for lunch (paninis) and then saw a magnificent coastal view

 

On the way we had our first taste of lemon ice.  I will never see lemons in the same way again.  They are huge!!!  Like grapefruits!  And so tasty!  The lemon ice had bits of rind in it and was very refreshing! 

We arrived at the farm, Tenuta Terra Nova about two hours later.  It is beautiful!  Very remote but with views of the Bay of Naples.  There are flowers everywhere and animals.  Kira, the German Shepherd, met us and escorted the cars to where we would stay.  This is a family owned operation and very comfy and peaceful.  Sporadic wifi so this blog got a late start!
