This is us at the top of the mountain with the Sacra San Michele. It is basically an abbey dedicated to the angel with the flaming sword - michael (so Mikey - we went to YOUR abbey!)
One of the nice things about being up in the mountains were the mountain sheep and goats wandering around in a flock. You really think about the parable of the Lost Sheep when you see the little one that get left behind bleating away. But fortunately the others are not far up the road...
Photographic tip of the day
If you try to take romantic couple pictures by yourself (i.e. holding the camera with one hand and trying to focus and click blind)... make sure you turn off the zoom function...

sacra san michele! irene and i wanted to go but didn't have time. do you have more pics?
we missed stupinigi too, cos the closing times printed in the guidebook were wrong. please tell me all about it if you ever go...
Cool...and you are right, it IS the abbey of the saint for which I was named. I was born on St Michael's Day, and hence the choice of name which was chosen by my aunt, a devout catholic.
