Linda’s wrong about the Capri and God thing, Umbria is where he/she summers.

*Ciliege (cherries) picked and eaten directly from the tree is almost a religious experience. Should I make this an R rated blog…hmmm, maybe not.

*I actually am convinced that I speak Italian. I arranged with a local merchant to have someone pick truffles for us, and we would purchase them from her, on Friday. Alternatively, I may have let her know I am joining a convent.

*I have become incredibly adept at washing down the walls of every bathroom I have been in since I have never mastered, or frankly understood, the concept of a hand held shower and no shower curtain.

  1. Laughed out loud over the “shower” scenario…all I can say is thank GOD for the marble bathroom in the apt we stayed in last summer in Florence. I drowned the bathroom every shower. Initially I tried very hard to keep the water on me, but after 2wks – screw it, we had a housekeeper so I stopped trying so hard.
    Welcome home and I look forward to hearing your stories over vino one day soon.
