We arrived well after a tiring fight with one stop in Munich. After that it's been quite busy, at the moment visiting my inlaws. The country has very diverse styles of building houses, yet one thing is never the case: houses made of wood like we have in Canada and the US. My inlaws' house is made literally of clay, with walls almost 2 feet thick. Dates from 1870 or so. In this village the style is to have no space between the house and the sidewalk. You open the window and reach out, you can touch a passersby.
Most other houses are made of insulating brick, you know the brick with tunnels inside. Then there's a net fixated on the outside and finer cement layed out on top. That's just the tradition.
As you enter the gate usually you find a place for spending time outside , like a bench and table on concrete slab.
Then behind a fence, it's rare not to see a veggie garden all the way back.
My inlaws are in their 70s so they don't put a lot of work in the garden, yet there are all kind of fruits and vegetables.
They got prunes, grapes, quince, apples, peaches, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, and others. They also have chickens. Sometimes they grow a pig.
This is a typical household here. As I said before, minimal lawn anywhere.
We're going to another region about 70 miles away from here, in a hilly region. Things are different there. I'll post pictures.
