Last night was a night from hell. The ten young Italians that were in our house were up past 3:30am in the morning. I almost went out to see if the girl (it was 9 guys and 1 girl) was all right because she kept screaming. We were so tired the whole day. The good thing is that Paula and Gabrielle did not ask us to do anything; they realized that we were very tired.
The only major event of the day is Fantino (the donkey; I think I have been calling him Farantino and it should be Fantino because I was corrected today). Maradia and I were trying to untie him because he was making so much noise. The problem was that Nina was in sight and he really wanted her. We put Nina in her pen and tried to get Fantino in a better spot in the yard, but he was pulling us so fast we could not stop him with the rope. Again you had to be there to enjoy the comedy. I really feel sorry for him.
I was finally able to take a shower after three days. It was very quiet once the kids left and I had time to play with the puppies and relax. Tomorrow we have all the agriturisimo organization coming for a meeting and in the afternoon I will be leaving for Pratola Peligna, where my grandmother and grandfather are from. I have 4 days before I arrive at my next and final farm at Anversa.
Paula gave us a couple books on traditional Abruzzo recipes. My mom will be very excited when I go home and cook for her. It will be difficult to say goodbye to the family. They are so nice and I have really enjoyed my time at Tholos.
Tonight we have the house to ourselves and even a bathroom. I will sleep soundly.
Ciao for Now
