Day 8 - A me day

And after 7 8 days he rested… - I read that somewhere

Your dryer is just outside the window
  

Today was a me day.  Hence the blog will be very short. 

The laundry went well – 30 minutes for the wash cycle and 37 minutes for dry and the directions  are in English.  With chores done and my clothes clean, I just walked the streets taking it all in.

I bumped into a confused couple who spoke English and needed directions.  They were headed my way so I escorted them to their destination, a grocery store.  My favorite Enoteca was across the street so why not have a glass of wine.  As couple exited the store they joined me for wine and antipasti.  That is when I discovered he owns a vineyard and winery in Australia that produces 40,000 cases a year.  We enjoyed the wines of Liguria and swaped stories.  This type of encounter is so much fun for me.  New friends, wine, and food.

For dinner I headed down the alleys, and I found a place that looked good.  I was seated next to couple who wanted talk politics.  How much fun is that?  For me it is a bunch! 

On a scale from 1-10 the meal was a 9 , the wine a 14, and the dessert a 12.  Man these folks know how to eat!

Ciao
