1. As I was sitting at my desk at school, looking over at the hill across from my school, I saw an old man in big rubber boots moving slowly around, stopping to pick something from the ground. I asked my classmate what it was, and they replied "funghi." An old man picking mushrooms.
2. I was riding my bike right near my house, and saw another old man stopping to pick something from the side of the road. I stopped and asked him what he was looking for, and he said "verdura." Greens. And old man picking greens on the side of the road.
3. I rode my bike farther, and there was a big commotion ahead of me on the road. I rode past the traffic, and came across a frantic shepherd trying desperately to get his goats off the road. The goats were jumping on cars, getting chased by guard dogs, and running into driveways and off the road as the shepherd (pastore) yelled in his guttural goat language to no avail. A goat-induced traffic jam.
Speaking of bicycle, I forgot to announce that I officially am in possession of a really nice mountain bike, generously loaned to me by my friend Sergio. It frees me up so much, allows me to go farther and faster than on foot. Thank the lord! The week has started off really well, went to the pool yesterday, and the beach today! Had a cappuccino while sitting on the deck of a beach cafe watching the waves. Perfection.
I go to Verona on Saturday!
