We've had a wide assortment of guests lately doing quite a variety of interesting things in addition to the high level walking and flower spotting going on. We've had guests who have come here to find their roots and distant relatives in the small historic Valdesain (Waldensen) village of San Germano just down the road. With Fabrizio knowing everyone in the valley, they got to explore and share their family's history with us and a lot of interested local folks. It made for some interesting conversations and discoveries about our neighborhood.

Much to my delight, I got to meet these very knowledgeable travel writers when they stayed with us last week and did a bit of exploring here in our undiscovered alps. James very kindly added us to his recommended list of accommodation in Italy, (thank you very much) and Martha wrote about the Piemonte region and our wonderful cuisine and wine. We enjoyed their visit and we always enjoy visiting around in our valley and visiting a number of other things that I couldn't cram into one article again, so it'll have to wait for another time.
But in closing, I just have to share this invaluable tip that James gave me about pushing more traffic on to my site. The photo below from the village of Usseaux, known for it's traditional murals painted and scattered through out this tiny traditional village presented itself as an excellent opportunity for me to to add it to my blog and label it as it reads below. You can only imagine there will be loads of people searching for " Naked Man and Woman."
Thank you James and Martha. We hope to see you up our way again sometime soon.

From the looks of those photos I'll say that we MUST pay a visit to your neighborhood in the near future! Let's see now...I'll be checking the rifugi on the map. ;-)
The tip from James is a good one, which is why I put more thought into the post-title than what I want to write about in the first place! It is always interesting to see what things people are searching the net for. :-)
haha, good luck and don't forget to tell us how it goes!
Rowena...We await your vist, although from the looks of your blog, you have been seeing some serious mountains lately.
Hi Ilva, I think I need to make the title a bit more spicy to get the result.
All it does is rain here! So I've been cooking and eating! LOL
I love your pictures and your stories.
Be safe...
It's good to know there are people out there enjoying my stories. Thank you Lora.
I SOOooo want to go. The serene beauty calls to me like the sirens on the shore.
Love your "traffic generator." Very funny.
