Vacanza

Yesterday:
Swimming in the 33 meter pool that Luca trained in as a boy. Pizza con funghi e prosciutto. Shopping. Saw friends. Our friends' three year old daughter liked the glitter markers we bought for drawing on T-shirts. Our friends were relieved that we also got her some new t-shirts to draw on.

Today:
Gnocchi in the mountains. Saw parenti. Pisolino. My Italian is getting better. I guess speaking a little to Luca at home has helped afterall. I was able to talk with parenti who previously did not understand me at all. There are some enormous sweet red pomodori growing in the back yard that are as good as the ones we picked at Linvilla a few weeks back. Word of the day: zanzare (would show pictures, but can't figure out how to turn off pop-up blocker here). There were a ton of them as we were setting up the RV. We only got bitten a few times.

Tomorrow:
Drive to Cortina with RV. Fish in Lake. Eat fish. Hike. Relax. Read. Play scopa. Sleep.

Non torniamo mai.
