No, not yet, but soon. Slovenia awaits, but today’s photos are from the early days of discovering Italy.

As I’m waiting for my sister to come, fetch bestia and me, and take us to our other home in another country, here is a collection of photos taken in some sort of transit or another.
I do believe that people add a dimension to your photos and Sandy, our Friendly Friday host for this week, does this beautifully. Her theme is In-transit.
All fine, it’s just that neither I nor my camera people-watch much. I prefer to let them be, just as I’d prefer they let me pass unobserved.
The last pants that I’ve bought have such a pattern that you can’t stare at them for more than a few seconds.
Thus it’s not surprising that there are only my people in today’s photos, except in one that is not even mine but has been borrowed from my father. As many other tricks, I’m sure.
All of these photos, which in one way or another reply to this transitory theme, are from 2013 and 2014, my first two years in Italy (which also means that they were taken with my first digital camera, a bulky Canon).
Let’s see how it was back then.
For Friendly Friday Photo Challenge hosted by The Sandy Chronicles: In-transit
You must be counting off the hours to go to Slovenia! Those villages seemed carved out of the mountain, very picturesque.

Thank you, Sandy. 🙂 Many towns around here, including these two, were built out of tufa, the volcanic ash. Really impressive. And oh yes, I’m counting. 🙂

Beautiful, all of them. I wonder where that Bosnian one was taken.

These are great photos, I bet looking at Pitigliano is awesome. I never heard of it but I am going to google it. My Grandpa was born in a town north of Rome, and they came to the US when he was a child

Oh Alice, great to hear this about your Grandpa! Do you know in which town he was born? I’m from Slovenia, which is Italy’s neighbour, and yet I never heard of Pitigliano before either. Italy is full of great wonders.

Oh, yes, I remember your Pitigliano photos, Sue. You are one of the few bloggers I’ve encountered who know of it and have been there. 🙂 Thank you, always a great pleasure to see it again. And the car is a Morgan, good to know.

First time in the snow?! Aaaaah, you mild, mild Tuscanians. I worry for climate warming and, especially, for cars with no handbrake lever. How will kids learn to drift on snow and ice without a handbrake to pull!?
By the way, the GRA photo reminded me of this (it works if you know Guzzanti or Venditti):

Thanks, Fabrizio. I know Venditti by name, but most of all I know GRA – Grande parcheggio anulare. 😀 No snow, half of fun, I agree. We, Tuscanians, can ski on Monte Amiata! But we don’t. 😀
