Apricale - the Old Dog


We're in the medieval hill village of Apricale. See yesterday's post for a long shot of the village showing the houses as they seems to tumble down the hillside.

I wonder many dogs have walked these same cobblestones over the centuries?

  3. I often wonder the same! He's edging his way down every so carefully over the cobblestones like I do, when they're wet anyway.

  6. We would call that a "hang dog" look! What a lovely place. I would love to visit although I don't think I would be able to leave!

  7. Yes, Virginia, me too. Now we know why Jilly stayed when she got to Menton. I think I'd stop in Apricale and never go. (I say that about Menton, too.)

  8. I strongly recommend your visitors click on the link you provide to "Riviera Dogs" - they will get a chance to see you in ambush ready to take a picture of that dog. I think it's so funny, I really like it!
