This weekend we (Emily, Monica, Rickardo, Mauro (Em's boyfriend who speaks excellent english and is great company) and I went to Monica's holiday home at Lake Orta. At first I did'nt think it was going to be very good because we went on the autostrada through alot of industrial areas, but after alot of traffic and an hour and a half of ugly country we arrived in a beautiful area with a small but attractive apartment in a building built in 1715. Monica's apartment used to be a stable but is now renovated into a home on the shores of Lago Orta. Bellisima, the sun came out today after a rainy day yesterday and the whole lake was stunning. Really too hard to describe. Tomorrow morning I will get Emily to help me put some photos up.
I have never eaten soooooo much since arriving here. We have antipasto (starters), secondo (main meal) and then dessert. Tonight I ate a whole pizza and it was'nt a small one. If I don't eat it it's like I'm being really rude. The gelati here is delicious too. What's really good is to see Emily eat all this and more and then rave about how delicious it all is.
Tomorrow we are going to visit the San Felices in Mantova and then we are going to stay in Turin with Marta. Emily is going to Oktoberfest next weekend and I am going to visit Venice and after that we are going to head south to Tuscany and Rome etc.
Hope everyone who reads this is well and happy.
