Sweet Tea… in Italia!

Italy, Amazing Food, Love and Wine Y'all!

Just some normal days here lately,  but!  I have had some firsts.. 
I bought my first book in Italian..
it’s for the age group of 14-18..
But, still it is a good book, it’s about the anti-mafia judge Giovanni Falcone. the book is good so far..   i’m not having that big of a problem with it, just occasionally i have to look up some words, but now that I figured out a different past tense of verbs… I’ve got it under control.
the book is based in Italy, and they use a form called passato remoto…. and it is not used much up here in the north, from what I understand.

And since I am adulting, I also found an interesting gem of a book called <<Il grande libro delle fiabe>> it’s a great big book of fairytails… =)
and yes, I have already read two stores before bed.  Last night the princess and the pea.. and the first night the three little pigs…. hahah

Friday brought one of the first days of warm sunshine and clouds in a big blue sky.. so Gemma and I went to this refuge in the mountains.. but, decided it would be nice to take a walk there….
45 minutes non-stop uphill……  we were both stoked at first..  then started dragging ass about 35 minutes into the walk..  but we made it up there and ate some kraut and affettati and formaggio and made it all worth our while 🙂

The view from where we were walking….

the long ass gravel road….

Then I was supposed to go to a reining show about 2 hours by train away.. and I was really all gung ho about going.. and then I got really sad… I miss Luci and Tattoo…… and I decided it wasn’t a good idea for me to go, I don’t think my heart is ready so I decided on going to a bike shop….  I live next to this trail called pista ciclabile.  it’s literally a trail that goes all around the lake, into trento and all over this region.   So I watch many many people go crazy riding on this thing… I mean from professional “on your left” people, to just normal old people like me with the little bike bell… hah..

So Gemma had a grand idea… we needed a new bicycle to drown our sorrows..
I joked around and put this on facebook and said it needed a name, and a bunch of people responded with different things…  So far, I liked Ruby, Lucy, Dorothy and Rosie..  I am kind of leaning towards Ruby..   But, Today is Sunday… and I woke up ate some yogurt and frutti di bosco and decided to go on a maiden voyage.  There is a dog carrier for Gemma on order, but, I wanted a black one so it matched the bike and all, so I have to wait for it to come in….  But, Gemma was able to come with me today because we did the best redneck engineering we could come up with..

Now I’m sitting on the balcony watching people and clouds and I kind of think I should write a book…  and I’m thinking of how to go about doing that… and I will probably keep procrastinating about that and decided that it’s a bad idea and read the book I bought..
