Vendemmia 2010: day 3

Actually on day 3 (which was Sunday) we didn't pick grapes with our guests. Instead we went to visit some lovely places hidden in the Appenine mountains.

Scanno lake. The mountains, the air, the transparent water. Just marvellous:

Scanno town is famous for its artisan jewellery:

At some point we felt a very inviting smell of fresh bisquits. Following our noses we found this - handmade bisquits:
This tiny bisquit store is run by a lovely couple who made the tastiest bisquits in the world: We could taste everything and also saw how the bisquits are made:

Typical street of Scanno:

Last look at Scanno:
Who has ever been to Sulmona, will never forget this sight! Sulmona is famous for its traditional candies (confetti) and the flowers with candy-petals are typical of this place :

Typical local cheese:
"Confetti Pelino" is the best known candy-factory of Sulmona:

We also came across a very old candy store:
