Oink, Oink

Last Sunday we went to the proscuitto festival in San Daniele, which is about an hour away from here. Dan and I had been to this town before, it was right after we moved here and were out exploring. Monica and her family came with us, it was a fun day.



We walked around a bit, which was a lot of uphill walking, so I burned some calories before eating lunch :) They had tents set up selling different things. The first thing I bought.....CHEESE! I love Cheese. The different tents were selling olive oil (people were actually drinking it to taste it!), Lemoncello, dried fruit, sausage, purses, clothing, etc. We got some dried fruit at one of the stations, we got strawberries and kiwi...It was good.

They also had pigs there. I thought this was sad. Looking at them..knowing they were going to be killed. They also had little baby pigs...they were so cute.



We then walked up to the center of town, that's where they had the proscuitto and the tables to eat. There were quite a bit of people up there eating proscuitto and drinking beer having themselves a merry ole time. We each got a plate of Proscuitto which came with breadstick type things and a water. It was good, just different from what we eat everyday.





All in all, it was a good day. Lots of walking, but that's good for you! On the way out we stopped and got some gelato :)

Dan has a 3 day weekend for the 4th of July, so we are going to head back into Austria and stay just outside of Innsbruck. We are going to go back into Germany and check out some castles and explore the area down there. I will post pictures and a blog when we get back!
