A few delicious days in Rome, a few more in Lovely Lovely Firenze, where I got caught in a thunderstorm right before I left, and then an long overnight train south, to Maglie, where I met my next hosts and came here. Here, being San Senseverino, in Pollino National Park, a small village where I help out at hotel Panorama. Easter Weekend, doncha know!
In Rome, I mostly ran around seeing the sights, but also got to go with Matteo to his football match at night and sit on the side with the girls, and give somebody ELSE directions for once. Such satisfaction. I cut my days there short since Matteo had a psycology test to study for and I couldn't find another host, so instead my host in Florence ok'ed me to come a day early. Marco made awesome dinner for us every night, and we had some great conversations in his little flat which is mostly composed of stairs, a regular size split up into three levels-- the entry way, then the living\sleeping\lounging area plus bathroom, topped with a kitchen. You could see right to the dome out the window, the center of the city, and I adored it.
Now, it is nice to be back where the air is a little harsher and cleaner, and I can see mountains all around. perfecto.
ciao ciao
