San Romedio

We had a nice breakfast while it rained and thundered. Stefania and Sabrina picked us up at 10 and we stopped and picked up Nicole for a day of adventure! The weather cleared and it was amazing!They took us to Sanctuario San Romedio a gorgeous place built high in the mountains that has a rescue bear named Bruno. The legend has it that San Romedio lived there with a bear as his companion. We had a beer brewed by the monks who live there then headed to a small village for lunch. They are renowned for their hash browns-and it’s deserved! The best we’ve ever had served with lingonberry jam, cabbage, beans, salami and two cheeses. It sounds so unusual but was so good! A very local dish! So.much.food. Then we headed to a gondola outside of Mezzocorona and walked to the sky bridge for an amazing view, walked over a suspension bridge, then had a break at a beautiful mountainside cafe for a coffee and water. The views are unreal-vineyards everywhere as well as apples. Fun to FaceTime Davis and Laura, Hannah and Burkey (Stetson was sleeping:) today. Stefania then took us to a winery that helped her with her thesis and we got to see the beautiful grounds and buy some local wines. They dropped us off at our B and B for a bit of rest, then we headed up to their house for a beautiful dinner and to say goodbye at 8:30. It was the most special night as we shared more about our lives with each other. Super fun to FaceTime with Dawson and Jackson at the office with a surprise guest, Julie! We are planning to leave at 6 am to get two hikes in while the weather is good tomorrow! You never know with mountains. Such a beautiful day and the most amazing area. So thankful for Stefania, Sabrina, Franco and Nicole. They feel like family! They sent us home with apples, tea, cookies and flour that Nicole had ground from wheat she grew.❤️Read more
