Do You Cut The Onion When Cooking Silverside?

Gita Valchiavenna

Today we went for a trip already postponed to April due to bad weather.

Unfortunately today the weather has not given us a hand!

Given the forecast is not so bad, some predicted worsening with time variable by 17, we decided to brave the season that year was very rainy.

We are refugees in the bar to reschedule the day, get to Savogno in those conditions it was unthinkable, and after a quick consultation we decided to visit the palace Vertemate ( another link).

Fortunately there were no reservations, and our group of about 25 people was exactly what you need for a group tour, which began at 10.30.

The caretaker was really good to introduce the wonders of the building and involve children, a little 'demoralized by the failure to climb to Savogno for a couple of hours.

After lunch we went to visit the collegiate ( another link), with its baptismal font of 1156.

As time seemed to turn for the good we decided to reverse the last part of the trip as planned.

using the bike path that runs alongside the mere , we headed towards Prosto ... from that moment on, no more rain!

Once in Prosto we exploited the hospitality crotto of Belvedere which allowed us to get to the bottom of the crotto ( another link) to see where it exits the Sorèl .

After going to take some biscuit Prosto ( another link), we returned to the waterfalls dell'Acquafraggia.

Since we could not get on Savogno where, shelter, waiting for us to foil pie and saw that "if Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain Muhammad goes "... we went to the departure of the cable car place where, after fifteen minutes of waiting, the mountain ... er ... the cake came from us!

Can I Grow My Breast With Diane 35?

Preparation Savogno

Today with Nicola and Massimo Giana Pizzatti Savogno we went in the town of Piura (SO) to make an inspection tour of the elementary Castionetto we do Tuesday, April 27.

The program should be:

Yard Departure Castionetto elementary school by bus at around 8:15 or as soon as possible. Arriving at 9.45 in

Valchiavenna in Borgonuovo (fraction of Piura) at a height of 400 m (point 1 of the map).

Percorso

At 10 we start the climb to the stop location "Ronchi Stables" where we will see the houses and among other things an old press beam pressing (similar in type to that of handling included).

continue on the path to climb the steps of passing the crotti Savogno (3) and reaching Savogno (4) at an altitude of 950 m around 12.

In the yard of the church we will do lunch, so we'll go to the shelter to give us a cake.

Savogno visit the village and the old sawmill.

Around 13:30 we will be heading towards Dasile (5) arriving at 14 at the highest point of our trip at 1100.

also visit the small town and see an old chestnut.

During the inspection we had to go down a path (in red on the map) but which proved unsuitable for children because it is full foliage and therefore dangerous.

Then return to the good road made to climb up to Savogno.

From here we will descend for another path to the top of the falls dell'acquafragia (6) where we will spend on a catwalk (Indiana Jones style, but absolutely no danger!) And we will go to an observation point of the first jump the falls.

descend to return to the bus arriving at about 16.

Here, if we have complied with the timetable, we will transfer by bus to visit the prostate where crotto Belvedere and we will do another walk to Chiavenna going to see a pot of giants.

Departing Chiavenna arriving at around 17:30 Castionetto to 19.
