Dad & I
A 91-year old proud Corsican who spent an hour with us, showing us his village's church, telling us about his life and inviting us over for pastis. Random encounters are always the most interesting ones.

The road from Porto to Piana: this, of course, is a two-way highway with vertical cliffs on the outside. I held my breath at every turn (and there were many!)

Hike to Lac Nino
Lac Nino
Lac Nino: part of the appeal of doing this hike was the high likelihood of finding wild horses by the lake. We saw only two, but they were very sweet. We were prepared with a couple of extra baguettes, which they gladly took from us.
