Livigno the next day


This morning we get up early as we want to wonder around.
I want to show Sampei the Dairy and Momo wants to show her daddy the place, while granny wants to buy some special cheese and daddy wants to have special breakfast ;)
So, after a hot shower, (here degrees are low outside compared to Milano), and a quick pre-breakfast with chocko rice flakes and yogurt, we get out and take the car to drive for the 2 km to reach the center.
As we arrive to the dairy, (fortunately there is a way to get there with the car, because last summer we arrived by feet just taking a walk but today weatherr is not so nice ... and there is always fear rain to come so is best to take car to move everywhere) daddy soon discovers he likes that place, you can eat for midday or have breakfast, you can reserve and see how they produce cheese and butter from a big window or directly inside, you can buy their products and in summer you can stay outside take sun and eat ice cream they produce fresh every day ;)
We buy some fresh yogurts and some cheese and we all take a coffee, it is the only thing I have not taken from home and we do not have at the apartment ;)
After the dairy we have to decide what to do, we are in the center again and .... at a certain point a yummy smell arrives at our noses .... the Bivio Hotel has outside a man who is cooking polenta, and let people taste it.
We get near and taste the polenta, WOW is so tasty !!! GNAM GNAM so in a second wee decide to have lunch at Bivio and we get inside, we sit and order some dishes: polenta with sausage and mushrooms for granny and me, with pizzoccheri for daddy and for Momochan potatoes and sausages ;) SLURRRRP
Theese are all tipical dishes from Valtellina the region where we are, also here we can eat bresaola (a special raw salted spiced meat dried) and the tipical cheese.

After lunch wee wonder around for a couple of hours, granny wants to buy  some items and I need some chokolate ;)
As soon as we have finished I am deadly tired about walking everywhere so we come back home.
Justside our apartment there are some kids play, a balance, a slider, a small house, ball, and Momo wants to play so while granny and daddy are having rest inside the apartment, I am togather with Momochan outside playing, well, she is playing while I am taking fotos and sitting on a huge tree trunk so wide that to hug it you would need two people ;)
It is fantastic how here in the mountains kids parks are always clean, you do not know who is in charge to care about them but they are always perfect, no mud around, balance and sliders and toys are always clean, no trash on the ground, for crazy that it could be, you could go play there also with the sunday fest dress that
you would never dirty ! absolutely nothing in common with the park in our town.
In my opinion, here there are some things alike Japan, first as I said, everything clean and accessible, second you hardly can find trash containers around (where the hell do the Livigno people throw trash ??), kids go to school alone, bicicle, helmet and rucksack on the shoulders, people are polite and last but not least, if you need to go toilet you will always find it clean as the one your home !
