Italians are down with Duff...who knew?
Not really. Portocomaro has been absolutely wonderful, but it is time to get moving again. I will forever remember and cherish the memories and the people...good times.
Saying goodbye to David, Chiara, Samir, and Oliver...we will miss you.
Can't get enough of that wonderful duff.
Liz is all better. Here’s to antibiotics they are extremely cheap ($5) here, and you don’t even need a prescription.
working hard or hardly working
We’ve built a great shelf and bird house out of scrap wood using substandard tools and a lot of gumption. It should hold up for years to come. If it's not used as firewood.
Liz the crop. Doing all the work again...typical.
We’ve taken a couple winery tours and tastings where we have gotten the contact information for the American importers. In the Piedmont region, the three most prominent grape species are Barbera, Ruche, and Griniolino; which most of the wine of the region comes from.
One of the four antipasta dishes.
Had a typical Peidmontese meal; complete with four plates of antipasta, one plate of pasta, and one meat plate. We still had at least two plates to go before dessert, but we couldn’t eat any more.
How I felt afterwards...flattering I know.
We’ve met our replacements. Rob and Polly…a couple Brits who have just begun a two year trip of vagabonding, hitchhiking, and Wwoofing with no real plan to speak of. Sounds like us...but with a British accent. Cherio!
mountains plus high speed train
So, now we are back on the train again. En route to Corniglia, one of the five villages which make up Cinque Terre. We are going to spend a couple of days there, one of which Is my 33rd birthday. Hopefully the weather will be as hot/nice as it has been in Portacomaro these past couple weeks and we can go swimming in the Mediterranean.
After a much deserved vacation of hiking and swimming in Cinque Terre we are off to explore the timelessness of Venetian canals, followed shortly by Florence, then to Tuscany to do another Wwoofing site. We’ll be sure to let you know how it went and have loads of pictures to share.
That's Montarosso behind my chins
As you may have figured out, this post is a little dated. Due to time and internet access constraints, we cannot always update when we want. By the time that I send this I have already had an astounding birthday in paradise and we are just getting ready to leave Venice. We will update again as soon as we can. Our plan is to camp one night outside Venice then go to our next Wwoofing site. Talk at ya soon.
All 5 villages are equally and uniquely picturesque.
Some tower in Pisa...seems to be tilting to the right a bit.
Dusk in Venice.
See you...ciao.
