Allora...

Fun fact: In Italy, caffe=expresso. Coffee bars are everywhere, but American style coffee is impossible to find (expect for the one star bucks in Milan). You can ask for caffe Americano, but you’ll get looks. Caffe macchiato? Expresso with a bit of milk(although a latte macchiato will get you what you want). Latte=milk, so make sure to add a caffe on the front! My coffee tolerance is sky rocketing, along with my wine tolerance. We have wine with all our provided meals, and its rather cheap here (2-5 euro for a cheap bottle, so $ 2.50 to 6.50) I’ve developed quite a taste for it, but then again, we’re in wine country, so all the wine we’re getting is delicious. On our way to Borgetto, we passed an insane amount of vineries. Imagine all the crops you see growing on the highway in Illinois. Replace every single one with grape vines, and you have Veneto. Its odd to see, as the grape vines are trained up on a stake, and eventually on clothing lines as they branch, and then the parts bearing fruit in small netting. We’re currently at the stake section of growing.
