Ciao! I can now officially cross number 1 off of my list. But I think I will wait to do the official cross-off until T gets here in May. Until then, I will be keeping you all up to date on my shenanigans via the wonders of this here world wide web. So, if you find yourself asking questions like:
- "What is Nick doing in Italy?"
- "What is Italy like for a recently 'graduated' young person?"
- "Does Nick even speak any Italian?"
- "What's the Italian word for shit?"
- "What am I doing on this strange person's blog?"
Hopefully you'll find the answers here:
- I am WWOOFing for 7 weeks, then sight seeing for a few more once T gets here. (If you haven't heard of WWOOF, it's an organization that puts organic/sustainable farmers in touch with volunteers world wide. Essentially, volunteers (like myself) put in work on farms in exchange for room and board. WWOOFers (as the volunteers are known) get to to see the world and learn about organic/sustainable farming practices, while the farmers get much needed help; it's a win-win.) The current itinerary is 3 weeks near Spoleto, 2 weeks near Modena, 2 weeks at another farm somewhere in Italy, and 2.57 weeks doing something with T. In case you were wondering, I am super good at planning ahead..... or not.
- I'm not sure I just got here yesterday.... So far the answer is: awesome.
- No. Wait....I said "ciao" at the beginning of this post, and "no" means "no" in Italian. So.... Yes?...or rather.... Si?..... What did you mean by "any Italian"? I'm so confused...... I guess my final answer is: Solo un po'.
- Merda
- It's ok. You probably just hit the next blog button. That happens sometimes.
Anyway, now that I've gotten all of your questions out of the way, I'll get to the point.
Rather than cluttering up this blog with travelogues from Italy, I'll be posting in a new blog. So, if you're curious, please cruise over to: Il Percorso Scenico
If you have any real questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to comment on this post and our friendly (but less than courteous) staff will respond as soon as possible. And as always, thanks for stopping by.

What? No praise for your hosts? No mention of wine on the terrazza or delicious dining? I hope to see more about the Hospitable Haerrs or you're in merda Nick!
ReplyDeleteDenise, So grateful you are there to keep him on the straight and narrow. I did not raise no ingrates! Readers, do not let the Denises confuse you. So you are in on the lingo, Denise1 (D1) is the mom and Denise2 (D2) is Nick's hostess with the mostest on his first stop in Italy. Oh, dear. I just realized that can be confused with all the D's on the UCD ski team D1, D2, D3 whose names do not even start with D. You'll figure it out!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! You forgot D4!
ReplyDeleteMy apologies to D4! See, even I cannot keep it straight.
