South Tyrol, is that in Italy, we have an area in the North called Tirolo. Are you going to drink that whole glass of beer? I don't drink alcohol at all...can you believe it we have such good wine here in Sicily but I don't drink it? What I like though is Marsala, just a bit though, I put it in my Uovo Battuto (beaten egg yolk and sugar, it's something my mother used to make for me when I was small. You beat the egg yolk with about three teaspoons of sugar until creamy then add a teaspoon of Marsala. It's delicious and it's supposed to be very healthy, but nowadays sugar has lost its image. I use brown sugar or honey, but I guess it's still kind of sugar.Saucy Sicilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044337117600868975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-83489434864904638552019-06-03T07:45:17.130+02:002019-06-03T07:45:17.130+02:00It is very special, isn't it!It is very special, isn't it!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-44973153710411144732019-06-03T07:45:00.219+02:002019-06-03T07:45:00.219+02:00Of course the pictures can only give an incomplete...Of course the pictures can only give an incomplete impression - you can not hear the birdsong, smell the fresh air or feel the sun on your face.

I was fascinated by the Earth Pyramids which I had never heard of although through my school knowledge of the effect of the ice age on Britain I'd come across boulders left high and dry after glaciers had melted. I've spent a lot of time lost in your photos and can understand why you enjoyed the walk so much.

I love all these photos but my favorite two are these: the one of you with the giant shandy and the last one, where it looks as if God is giving a blessing on this lovely holiday. <br />All of the mountain photos that you have shown us from this trip, they remind me very much of the mountain scenes from The Sound of Music. The ads for the film were shown for weeks and weeks in our local cinema when I was a kid, so those mountains were imprinted on my brain. I never saw the film until I was an adult!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-86893822304929600942019-06-02T16:40:01.285+02:002019-06-02T16:40:01.285+02:00I was not familiar with the term "hoodoo"...I was not familiar with the term "hoodoo", but I have been to Bryce Canyon more than once so I have seen many of them.

Such beautiful flowers. And all the animals you encountered, too.
