Another Anterno Valley Sunday


Pastel I started today.


Pictures from walk we took today. Castevecchio is in the background. It was actually cool today.



Last night the neighbors, Salvatore and Enrica came for dinner. Jim made french fries and we both thought they were the best french firies we had ever had. Is it the potatoes? We did buy a special combo of oils for frying. They were the potatoes that Vittorio gave us from his garden. We had a blast. I think it is more fun to not really speak Italian. The conversation stays light and easy. There are lots of reasons to laugh. They liked the American meal, but were concerned that we did not eat pasta. Enrica brought over an English Truffle for dessert. It was mad good. Every bite was like paradisimo. They also brought, surprise, ZUCCHINIS. See it is just like Vermont here, everyone is trying to get rid of zucchinis. This morning we went out early for painting. We had already picked the spot. I like knowing ahead of time where we are going. It is so hard to decide otherwise. It is a cool and beautiful day here. The sky is crystal blue. It seems strange that we would be cooler in southern Italy than it is in Vermont. This is a great place to be in the summer. The sun shines everyday, but a few. By the time it is rainy, you are glad to see it.
