Real Buffulo Mozzarela...starring Buffy the Buffulo
Buffalo mozzarella ("mozzarella di bufala" in Iatalian), add some tomato, how can you go wrong? We got to visit an organic farm of the domestic water buffulo (a LOT fatter than their Asian cousins that you see the bones in those water buffulo!).
We stopped at Tenuta Vannulo, http://www.vannulo.it/eng/home.html , where we were able to see the buffulo getting massages, making the cheese, leather products and then a feast. One of the folks on the tour was celebrating his birthday that day...so they surprised us (him) with a cake! Nice touch Rick Steve's.... And can one ever have too much mozzarella di bufala? Not me! See the slide show below....
A nice touch with the Rick Steves tour, one of the folks in our group had a birthday the day we were here, and you can see the fun celebration! Hmmmm, maybe my next trip needs to be for my birthday....!

Paestum
These are some of the most well-preserved ancient Greek Temples. It was founded in the 7th century BC ~ isn't that amazing? Can you imagine any of our current structures lasting that long?
