My attempt to keep a semi up to date log of my life, travels, and forays into gardening, green living, home decoration and whatever else catches my fancy.

Wine and Olive Oil
Julie, Becky, Mike and I met John and then headed out to Torgiano to visit the Lungarotti family wine and olive oil museums (which were cool and very well done, but I would have liked to see a bit more about the specialities of each in the region, etc...). We came back into town and I ended up being able to talk to Mom and Dad (I finally found a cheap place to call them from) which was really nice. From there, Becky and I got gelato, then we headed back to the apartments. I hung out there, Julie showed up and food was made. Did some laundry (which took forever, literally almost 2 hours for one load to finish) and people hung out up here. We went down to the piazza, where there was a vigil going on for AIDS awareness with a candle ribbon out- very touching. Hung out there, did the passegiata thing, then headed to a bar where everyone else had mojitos and I abstained because my body doesn't like rum. Becky and I spoke lots of italian, which made me feel a little more confident about class (since it flowed pretty easily, and I was able to catch most of my own mistakes), then we walked back, and now bed.
