casual weekend. mediocre.

Portonovo in Ancona, Italy

This is where I got to go this Friday.... casual. 

My friends and I had mentioned to people all week about taking a day trip to the beach on Friday. I honestly thought no one would really show up and it would just be us. Imagine my surprise when I showed up at the fountain to find 25 people waiting and ready to go... No pressure at all... I totally know what I'm doing I have no idea what I'm doing. But shockingly enough, we made it there and back uneventfully and had an amazing day.

As if this wasn't cool enough for one weekend, today we were driven out to a farm 30 minutes outside of Perugia where we visited the Orsini family farm. We spent all day learning about sustainable farming (love love love), eating grapes straight off the vine, making pasta with the women of the family, and being served a 5 course meal.

cutest woman alive

just some grapes right off the vine

Overall it has been a great weekend
- I didn't get sunburned (yay me)
- I didn't mess up our trip to Ancona (and who said I wasn't street smart? get at me)
- I had the best mozzarella I've ever had in my life tonight
- I've decided that I think old Italian people and Italian kids are the cutest things in the world. Don't be surprised if I come home with one of each.

oh.... and just so you know... this is was what I got to look at while I was walking home from the grocery store tonight..... casual.
