Greetings from the land of cheese, wine and macaroni, not to be confused with Marconi, who invented something. To say I am at a lost for words and meaning in Italian is an understatement. Our first night dining out was almost a disaster and it all started with an innocent(I know that now) question from the waiter,"Do you want water or Gas"? I thought he was saying I had Gas, which wasn't far from true, but I didn't feel compelled to have it announced to all at hand!!! After the second inquiry Jennifer came to the rescue and said he was asking if I wanted fizzy water!
'mFrom then on I just drank wine, it was a lot more simple.
Everyone in our group holds their breath when it comes to my time to order. I have taken to just pointing to the menu after a bout of trying to say "Pecoroni", they really shouldn't offer that on a menu.
The sights are incredible and everything looks like a postcard. The altitude is somewhat challenging and added to that are all the hills you walk up that have cobblestone everywhere. You would think they would have all these streets paved by now, it's been long enough. What they need is TXDOT to come over and show them how to lay asphalt,and toll roads!!! I'm sure CTRMA could tell them how to operate them.
Well I have to go now. The group is ready to go on our next sojourn. Talk to you later.
