Farming

Being on a farm keeps you busy. Really busy. So posting while really busy just isn't going to happen that often.

Anyway, we have been here for a week, and it has been really incredible. We have been putting up fences, cutting trees, pruning olive trees, cooking, baking, and taking trips around Todi. We have so far gone to Todi, Monte Castello, Orvietto, Monte Molino, and Civita de Bagno Regio -- an amazing place that I will post pictures of later. I have also been learning how to make risotto and curry, not at the same meal. Curry isn't Italian- this was in case you are an idiot and don't know where curry is from, but when a family is half American and half Italian anything goes. Also Aaron has been learning how to make fires. We have a wood stove - stofa in Italiano - in our room which is the only source of heat. Needless to day, we weren't very good at managing it the first few days and it was around 50 degrees all the time. After a week, we have been able to keep the room in at a comfortable 60 degrees.


I will write more later, but working on a farm has made me absolutely exhausted, so I am off to sleep. Maybe I will be more coherent and have more time tomorrow, but who knows, there is always so much to do in the Italian country side.
