Last Friday LdM went into the wild. We were told to prepare for hiking, cheese-making, and bears. Well, we walked quite a bit, but I wouldn't exactly call it hiking. The promise of cheese was more than fulfilled. Bears...we may have seen one. We definitely found some cows (jealous, Aunt Lynda?) Something about being in the countryside reverted us all back to children for the day-we frolicked, screamed at bugs, and ate sugar like it was our last day on earth. The weather was perfect, and I have the sunburns to prove it.
Overall, it was my favorite school trip. We walked through the beautiful national park to a cabin where we made ricotta, and had a dizzyingly good lunch of ravioli, salad, sausages, wine, and coffee, and ricotta with nutella for desert. We then all promptly passed out in the sunshine.
The water was lovely.
Although I love Rome, this trip reminded me how much I miss nature. Ancient ruins are nice and all, but give me any old mountain over the coliseum any day. Especially if I continue to stumble upon such great coffee in the middle of the woods. Flower child at heart for sure.
