For a visual treat Google (or other) search Apricale Italy images or same for Dolceacqua. Human hives of stone dating to the 12th? Century or before and still occupied. Very friendly people. Good local beer. Limited tourists ( for now) and amazing old architecture. 😊

A 5 year old boy and his 3 year old brother are upstairs in their bedroom. 'You know what,' says the 5 year old, 'I think it's about time we started swearing.'
The 3 year old nods his head in approval, so the 5 year old says: 'When we go downstairs for breakfast I'm gonna swear first, then you swear after me, OK?'
The 3 year old agrees with enthusiasm.
The mother asks the 5 year old what he wants for breakfast.
'Oh, sh!t Mum, I don't know, I think I’ll have some Cornflakes.'
WHACK!! He flew out of his chair, tumbled across the kitchen floor, got up, and ran upstairs crying his eyes out.
She looked at the 3 year old and asked with a stern voice, 'And what do you want for breakfast, young man?'
'I don't know,' he blubbered, 'but it won't be f**king Cornflakes!'

Direct hit could be a problem. Actually 1887. Village up the road ... Cathedral dome collapsed during mass and killed 1/4 of town population. The closely built mass of the hive survived apparently. |
