Before Easter
I've met my flatmates mother, Marie. She is a sweet lady, who's like mary poppin! When she arrived the amount of food she brought with her **jaw dropping** Pane, Olive, Dolce and MORE!! Marie doesn't speak any english so I've managed to have a little italian session with her, but only using single words and alot of hand gesture to convey what we're trying to say. One of the nights I've made the whole family stir fry. I already know the brothers like my cooking and Marie approves as well, this makes me happy. Marie is an excellent cook, usually I'm not very keen on lamb but the ones she made was good. I am so glad I've decided to live with the San Vitale Brothers, the whole family is so nice and we get on so well.
Easter Sunday
I missed out on a very big meal! Easter Sundays are considered family day, only small bars and some restaurants are open, but most shops will be closed as Easter is one of the biggest holiday in Italy. On the day I was travelling to meet up with my best friend, Katie, we're spending a week travelling to Torino, Roma, Bologna and then flornece. Before I set off I saw Marie making pane, veggies and funghi mixed together. Even though Marie hasn't finished cooking everything looks so tasty.
Off I go, but before I left a Philippine guy was trying to talk to me on the bus platform. He said I look like I'm from Thailand??? Anyway moving that aside, train up to Torino! Bologna was raining when I left after 20minutes on the train the sky has brightened up very nicely. Torino welcomed me with it beautiful scene and warm weather, BRILLIANT! Katie wasn't going to arrive until 3 hours later so I've decided to explore the area first, so much to see. It was a good thing the shops weren't open because I definitely wouldn't have walked around Torino as much as I would have.
(Interesting... I like!)
