L'aperegina

Alright. So its dark outside...and raining...I think its about midnight. This farm is rediculous. Our LIVES have been rediculous so far. After being shown an amazing time in L'Aquila with David (he works in an underground mountain fortress...science doesn't get any cooler) we figured that our cushy vacation was about to toughen up. I just reread Nams post about "manual labor" HA.

So far my manual labor has consisted of painting a pot, picking blackberries and playing with a goat (more on Nina later). If we were on vacation before, now we are living in a resort. We actually kind of literally are living in a resort. L'aperegina is a small organic farm but primarily functions as a bed and breakfast. There are all sorts of nicely manicured and decorated rooms that the guests stay in. Me and Namitas job is to be something between a curiosity for the guests and a servant. At least thats what we would be if there were any guests here. We missed the high season though which means our chores are just to feed the ducks, donkey and goat. And to set and clear the table. Everynight there are about 2 or 4 friends of Marino and Eliday who come over and regale each other with what sound like fantastic stories but becuase they are in Italian I can only guess.

Actally, my Italian is comming along a bit. I would say I catch about every 5th word that is said, which is just enough to get the gist of what everyone is talking about. Mostly it seems to be about food.
