Last Thursday we took a morning trip out to the city of Fenis to visit a castle. We had originally planned to visit Catherine at her Torino apartment and then take a city tour with her last Wednesday. However, the previous weekend I fell and sprained my ankle on the 1-inch step at the base of our porch steps. It was one of those moments when you wonder how in the world you managed to do such a clumsy thing over something so small. I was going to grit through the pain and swelling and just do the city walking tour, but decided it best to rest the ankle especially in light of our upcoming vacation to Paris. Therefore, the alternate trip was made to Fenis to satisfy our itch to get out and do something.
Fenis is about an hour away from us which made it possible for us to leave, tour the castle and be home by 1:00 for some lunch. It ended up being about all my ankle could handle for the day walking around for about an hour and a half. It was a lovely castle and here are some photos for you to see. No picture taking allowed on the inside, so enjoy the exterior.
And what trip is complete if you don't have some gelato somewhere along the way? Emma was quite excited about her mint and viola selections (viola, as in the purple violet flowers)

What a fun day! The castle is beautiful and too bad you couldn't take pictures of the inside. We'll just have to come see it in person.We can taste those gelado's! Good choice, Emma. That's Nano's favorite, chocolate mint! Yummm... So glad your ankle held up, Noella. We are still praying for that to heal. Thanks for sharing your day with us! We love you all so much!
