Riparbella

We made it to our new farm and are doing well. We only traveled about 25 miles to a small town called Riparbella, which is near Cecina. From the front porch of our apartment, I can see the ocean and what I've been told is the island of Corsica. There are about 500 olive trees on this farm, and I have no idea how long it will take us to harvest them all. Our hosts said that the crop was so large last year that they were picking until Christmas. The trees have a cyclical production, however, and there are far fewer olives this year. This is our last farm in Italy and we will be here until the first of December. The internet connection here is limited, so updates may be more sparse in the coming weeks.

Ciao for now.
