Monday. The fair is over and now to touristing. There is the town to see, vinyards in this famous Piedmont area.

Roman temple site around 0 AD, Augustus.

Italian, modern, found in multiple locations.

Cathedral in Alba

As labeled above.

Many of these places

Tuesday, Acqui Terme day. Old sulfurous spa town about an hour east of Alba. 75 degree C water deep deep underneath.

Naturally the Roman Baths were closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. The opportunities for a hot tub were limited to going to a day spa and spending 50 euros for a half day. Several pools and add-ons like massages.

Called I’ll bollente.

At the tourist office I asked if the aquaduct was closed. She smirked at me. Yes, a smirk. When we got there it was roped off but clearly visible.

Aquaduct is marked second century d.C Guessing domni Christo.

Walk along the river. Flat, easy, 4-5 km return.

Lots of risotto here

Typical Piedmont.

Dinner, peppers and eggs, a la Bobby. Outstanding, as expected, Could have used some espilette but….

Wednesday. Wine tiring and final Piedmont eating.

Two wineries booked, must have a booking for a tour. One Barbaresco. The other Barolo.

Both types and tastings were sufficiently of interest to do a separate blog. Two wineries, two tours, and a very fine lunch.
