Photo a day - Monti Simbruini hike

This was taken during a hike in September 2009 somewhere near Jenne, Lazio in the Parco Regionale dell'Appennino Monti Simbruini.



Later this day, we were driving on a dirt road, came to a crossroads, and paused as we considered which way to go next. A complete stranger waved us over and invited us to join a picnic. It was the Raduno Nazionale di Mitsubishi Outlander, the annual gathering of a car club of Outlander SUV owners. Members came from all over Italy, and each of them brought a food specialty from his or her town. They happily shared their delicious offerings with us despite the fact that we were not even in a SUV, let alone an Outlander. This is one of our most wonderful memories of Italy.

Check it out - they included us in their video, calling us "L'Americano e la First Lady."
