Statues made of rusted bomb shells -- now symbols of peace on the mountaintop.

"Combats of Man and splintered bomb shells, be now only the Madonna of peace."

A few donkeys watched us pass...

First sight of Gorbio, medieval village perched on a peak.

Around this Orme tree, planted in 1713, is the main plaza, where we ate a
rudiculously delicious tiny cheese raviolis with wild boar (sanglier) "daube"... hunted down from the over-population of wild boars in the region (we saw their diggings everywhere). As for impending wild boar encounters, we hoped the swiss army knife would "cut it".

Gorbio village - absolutely beautiful, with view over seaside Menton and Roquebrune.

A couple of curious horses on the way back...
