1st of April 2009
The day started early. Both me and Lindsay got to speak with our parents back home. In the morning I got to move some wood with Luisa in the wheel barrow and after lunch I got to do quite allot with Pepe, moving recycled materials and poles for the fence and almost finished it until the weather played a 1st of April joke on us and it started raining just enough so that we couldn't continue working. During work though he told me we could go searching for mushrooms one of these days as the rainy weather might have helped them spring up. Can't wait for that. In the meantime we still got to work on our baskets inside; it's not called “La Canestra” (“The Basket”) for nothing. Yesterday we got to find out the meaning behind the name as well: Noemi was telling us that during harvest time in the special local baskets people used to carry bread and different other things so the basket became a symbol of the countryside and in the same time of bounty.
Before dinner we went with Luisa to visit some of her friends in the nearby part of the Capitignano. Leo, the huge white and friendly dog of the farm came with us all the way and today we even got to meet the two horses that live on the farm: Carboso the Andalusian beauty and the very old horse that along side Carboso seems like a pony.
