We are staying on a beautiful farm in a beautiful country. The work here isn't hard and the food is plentiful and delicious. We start off every morning in the vineyard around 8:30am. We work until noon picking grapes and then we break for lunch. Lunch usually consists of lots of pasta and fresh vegetables and always ends with coffee. I usually nap and relax until work picks up again at 2:30 or 3:00. We go until 6pm and all told probably pick around 1000lbs of grapes each day! Then it is dinner followed by wine/beer and talking. Generally we're in bed by 10pm and it all begins again the next day.
We will have the weekend off. We are currently trying to decide if we will stay around the local cities or if we will try to take off for Asti. There is supposedly a festival there this weekend so we might give it a go.
I have pictures from Rome and the farm on my laptop, but I won't stress out the farm's internet connection by trying to upload them. I will try to put them up this weekend when we get a better connection in town. Ciao!
