Traveling into the countryside

As I start this post, we are traveling from Rome to Banfi. The buildings of Rome have given way to rolling hillsides. Who knew there were so many shades of green. The trees and shrubs that cover these hillsides are such a dark green,  dotted with the occasional shade of yellowish-green. The horizon is filled with one tree covered mountain after another.  Workers can be seen working in the fields, be it planting or making hay. A view of the Mediterranean and all of  it's ships made this girl long for home and Lake Superior I'm experiencing sensory oveload. Words cannot express the view and pictures will not capture the true beauty of this ride...
