As promised, here is the continuation of our visit to a town of which I only learned because Facebook assumed correctly that I’d like it. I hope you do too as there will be four more posts from here. Fairy-tales forever!
The only thing I regretted was that I was not carrying a child or ten. What surprises lurk around every corner! Uncle was clearly in sync with his inner child, bestia is always happy to explore, and I couldn’t quite believe my camera eye what I was able to capture.
After the initial snooping around showed last week, we turn the corner and enter a magnificent square with Alice in Wonderland on one wall and the Snow White on the wall opposite, with lots of little surprises to discover.
A few visiting families turned around here and we thought that was it. Then I noticed a sign pointing to the stairs saying that the tour continued there, and so we climbed them.
On top was the mural of the train to take us into new adventures. A look down the street in the last photo promised more. So we continued…
Turning the corner, we found many familiar faces. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Mirror mirror on the wall. I liked all the stuff under the stairs. I love this bit. It deserves a better photo. Once upon a time. We couldn’t come any nearer at first. Later we did and there was a surprise waiting. The best possible thing to do with an air-conditioning unit. See? You can buy Snow White’s house. The edge on the right. Hello there, Alice and rabbit! Am I late? Bestia is ready to follow the rabbit. A realistic detail. I liked all the little bits to discover. We could spend much more time here. This truck parked here and completed the scene. Other visitors turned around and we thought this was it. Then I noticed some stairs with a note that the tour continues there. On top of the stairs. Which fairy-tale is this? Here you can see the name of the artist on the tracks: Cecilia Tacconi. Brava! Uncle pointed to this fence and said that it was a part of the tour too. I wasn’t so sure. Then this view opened and we knew the end was not yet in sight. To be continued.

How fun! The murals are wonderful. I wondered if that one was Around the World in 80 days but, that wasn’t a fairy tale was it.
I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store next.

I find it useful too…sometimes. Esp when it comes to different groups. It helps me keep in touch with people and stay informed. It can be overwhelming, though, if you use it too much, and we get hooked easily, don’t we?

I love the photos, what a great capture! The bookcase under the stairs though with the cat and the cobwebs! ❤ I love when real stuff is incorporated into the art, it really brings it alive. And is the dog Bestia, the one posing so delightedly? What a happy little thing, She (?) looks like she's smiling 🙂
