Med to Mountains
In the morning we drove up and over the Appenines near the coast, across a relatively flat plain, and then toward the mountains in the north where our last stop will be in the town of Orta San Giulio on Lago d’Orta. This small lake is located just beyond the Lombardy region in the Piedmont. On the way, we stopped at another truck stop and found the same delicious food that there’s been everywhere else - - freshly baked croissants, orange juices squeezed to order, all sorts of fresh fruit. Even there, the Italian demand for good tasting, fresh food is always met. We crossed over the Po River and began to see the snow-covered Alps in the distance. It was interesting to drive through miles of rice paddies watered by a ditch system similar to that I’ve seen in California.
