Definitely go out of town to the country once. Now really get to know the country and its people. Lunch is really delicious. Learned a lot about tradition and history. Breaths in the green.

The scenery was beautiful and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I really enjoyed the day. The only down side was that there was much more time spent traveling than there was actually spent at the sights.
