winding down...

03-Maggio-2006

The days are going by with increasing speed. All of the papers and travel plans are coming to a big messy gathering. Hopefully everything will work out all right. This weekend I’m going to stay around so I can get all of my work done, but the school has scheduled a field trip to a castle a little bit outside of Torino and an art museum. Maybe we’ll go do some wine tasting to break up the day a little bit. We’ll see how motivated I am.

Today we toured yet another art museum in the Lingotto. The Lingotto is a mall/old fiat factory/art museum/movie theatre/Olympic center.. It’s pretty much a big deal. However, the art gallery was a little bit interesting. I got to see a real Picasso painting, as well as a Monet and Matisse sculptures. Interesting if nothing else.

I also had dinner with Kim and Andrea tonight. I made a stuffed onion recipe out of my cookbook from Scotland. It was absolutely amazing, both Kim and Andrea want the recipe. I was proud, yay for kitchen success. We also had risotto and Caprese, the Italian favorites. Yummy…

Well I guess that brings me up to speed. Other than that, I’m busy with travel plans and thinking about my friends that I’m coming close to going away from.. awww…
