We decided to stay in with Uncle (Zio) Tony & Aunty (Zia) Antonia today to relax a little, and give our feet a rest from all the walking we've been doing. Zia spent some time showing us her veggie patch in the backyard and attempting to explain in Italian what all the different herbs and vegetables were. She's growing all kinds of things like tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, potatoes, zuchinnis, different varieties of lettuce, celery, basil, and chilli - and thats just to mention the ones i understood! She also has 3 or 4 beautiful cherry trees and a couple of prune trees - all of which seem to be in full bloom. we spent some time out there enjoying the weather while picking and eating the fruit and trying to make conversation with our hands :) We then came inside for one of her famous feasts which included some freshly plucked veggies from her backyard.
We watched some italian-dubbed tv in the evening - gossip girl, and CSI Miami (which they all love here)...and then their son Fabio (Brendan's cousin) came home for the weekend from Milan. After ctaching up with him for a while, the family all sat down for dinner. Sofia of course didnt fail to entertain us at the dinner table - telling us stories (which I couldnt really understand), and giggling at nothing and everything. there's never a dull moment when she's around!
