I'm currently on the way back home to Rome from a nice little day trip to Oriveto. Having been to Orvieto one of the first weeks of the semester, I was excited to get a chance to go back and eat at MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER. After walking around, saying hi to the Duomo and introducing Zach to my favorite small town of Italy we went back to the old twelfth century rope factory turned amazing Grotto restaurant and got our eat on.
We got some typical Umbrian white wine, and SO MANY TRUFFLES. Truffles on pizza, and then truffles on top of a steak. My latest foray into truffle hunting in Piemonte made me more than ready for the task at hand of eating some serious Tartufa. Our waiter did not speak a lick of english, a welcome change from Rome where I can't stretch my pretty impressive (food ordering) Italian abilities.
Walking back through and checking out all of the old architecture made get all sad that I leave this place in, ummm I don't want to talk about it 34 days. That is why I cancelled all of my plans to see "central europe" who needs Amsterdam, Dublin, Vienna. Prague, and Munich. Instead I am going to soak up some small towns of Italy like it is my J-O-B. 8 days of seeing so much of the country that has been my home and treated me so well these last few months.
A nice short day of Lunching. paper writing, and reflecting-- a special study abroad day that I cannot say I won't be sad to leave.
