Marche

One day we drove east/northeast to Morovalle, then east to Civitanova Marche, and down the Adriatic a few miles and back to Monte San Martino.  The top picture is of Monte S. Pietrangeli, where we went to an outlet store I think of Guido Nero -- after seeing the outlet prices I'm glad I didn't see full retail.  We left purchaseless.  The second picture is Monte S. Pietrangeli also, but from down in a valley.

The fifth picture is "countryside in Marche" pictures.  We saw lots of sunflower fields waiting for harvest -- all the yellow was gone and it looked like they were patiently waiting for the combine.

Middle picture is the main highway along the coast.  It varies, but runs probably two to five blocks from the Adriatic.  Fourth picture is approaching Civitanova from Morovalle.  Morovalle is where I bought my Il Gergo shoes at their factory outlet store.  Cindy got hers in Amandola, the same place we got lots of wine.
