LaFoce our last day in Italy

We tried to see the garden called "LaFoce" today. We read it was open from 9 until 6pm today. But when we arrived it was closed. So instead we went to the hill top town Montepulciano. On the way to the town we stopped by a restaurant. They grow all their own food. It is located in a monastery that was built in the 1400's. We ate sheep’s cheese with fresh honey, and had green salad and homemade Ragu. It was awesome! And then we toured the old wine cellar. They had a mask of the wine god Bacchus that is over 2000 years old. It was really cool! And Montepulciano was also a great surprise! It was raining, but we still managed to see allot of the town. And now we are packing up. Juergen and the kids travels to Rome in the morning, and Nicole, Jessica, Mom and I will drive home to Germany.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
