Oops....we're supposed to be seeing Abruzzo but we're staying 15 minutes from Ascoli Piceno, a town on the border of Abruzzo but it's in Le Marche. Our landlord said it's a beautiful place to visit so that was our plan for our last tourist day before the trek back to Rome to go home.
It was a gorgeous, sunny day for our short trip through beautiful mountain terrain to Ascoli Piceno. We parked near one of the main squares where a giant market was happening and found a tourist "train" that we had been told was a good way to see the city so we hopped on. it was a good orientation to all the things we needed to see on foot and a nice overview of the city. It's true...it's a lovely city and it was a great way to spend our last day.
The market had many porchetta trucks (see yesterday's post) and we felt an obligation to try another porchetta sandwich for comparison with the one in Teramo. It was even better! I want someone to open a porchetta truck in San Mateo!! A bit more wandering the town and back to our nice cottage for our own Italian cooking (pasta with sauce with mushrooms and prosciutto) and packing up for the trip home.
