We got on a bus at 8am and headed for Perdonone! To start off, the roads are soooo narrow and a few times I about had a heart attack when we were turning or passing people! We stopped off in a town called Portia, at the most increadible waterfall stream like area! The water was as teal as you could imagine! Absolutely gorgeous! There were also these two geese who where quacking at us the whole time and trying to defend their territory from us! From there we went to the Portia market which is a market that moves towns everyday! They have anything you could think of, from fruit to clothes to accessories! A group of us decided to sit down at a caffe shop. We all ordered coffee in the best italian we could! I ordered an espresso which was good and came in a super cute little cup! After which we went to an incredible church with the most amazing paintings! I will upload pictures soon! We then walked further down this gorgeous streets to a chocolate making place where we got to taste some chocolate...mmmmmm good! We then made it to Perdonone where we ate a traditional Italian meal. We started with some risotto and pasta and white chardonnay. Next we got chicken with carrots which were soaked in like some butter mixture, and some mashed potatoes! We were then served what is called sgroppino which was similar to a lemoncello and was very tasty! We then got some dessert which they had 5 different things and of course we all tried all of them but I can't tell you what they were! haha! After lunch we headed back to Aviano and visited a local family vinyard for some wine tasting! We learned a little about the process of making wine and then we sampled some reds and whites! It was so much fun and very interesting! I bought a few bottles and can't wait to have some wine with my meals!
When we finally arrived back home after the most amazing day of experiencing the culture and most amazing towns and houses...and just best day period, a group of us went to the pool! It was kind of chilly but we figure that since we haven't worked yet we aren't sick of the pool! When we got back to our rooms we all decided to go get food! Some went and got chinese food (haha in Italy and getting chinese food???) while taylor and I went and got some pizza! I ended up getting prosciutto pizza and drinking a glass of prosecco with it! It was so much fun because the whole staff and some super cool airmen all had dinner together and hung out and listened to music! It was such a great night and I hope there are much more like it!
Tomorrow is our first day of work and I can't wait to start lifeguarding again! Ciao!
