Me: "I haven't pooped all day!"
Dad: "It takes awhile..."
This is a cute millipede. :3
Now, that was certainly the loudest dinner I've ever attended. Everyone was there and activities included an uncle-nephew drinking contest and two kids under the age of 5. Damn. They were still running while I was falling asleep!
Today, we went to a place on another part of the mountain with Zio Tino to take photos (and collect porcupine quills -- he said when he was a boy, he would gather them and use them to write!). Then we visited Tino's wife's mother, who will be 90 on July 4th. She's my dad's paternal uncle's mother-in-law. I'll give you a cookie if you can concisely tell me how she and I are related. We also saw where my Nonni [grandmother] use to live. And Tino told us that Poppi used to walk down the mountain (in only 30 minutes!) to go to the shore and help the fishermen. Then walk back up! It's steep as fuck. Holy shit!
The rest of the day we spent wandering around the property. They have 4 dogs (2 nice, 2 guards; 1 of the nice ones is the spoiled indoor pet), tons of chickens (for meat and eggs), a few sheep, and some goats (about 12 total), 6 stray cats that wander around (though they only leave out enough food for 2), 3 pigs (they are so cute!!!), 2 cows (1 milk cow, 1 which will be eaten in 6 months), 3 rabbits (for foodsies) and a mare! She is so beautiful! We learned where everyone in our family used to live on the property/where they grew up. It was a very fun day. All we do is eat and explore (and nap). It was very fun, even though the grunting pig woke us up this morning. :-P
Tomorrow, we will be touring in a city (including a pretty church).
Ciao!
