We stroll a few steps through the village of Vale

After a view from the village bridge ...
... we approach the village square.
A neighbor lives here, offering eggs, canned vegetables, homemade jams and zacuska ...
... and here two procured a slightly different food for the winter.
The village road leads up ...

The village is now mostly under us ...
... and somewhere there a native sloth snors to the beat of a woodpecker.
