We made more contacts at the Conference today. Mainly Cheese people. This one farm in France were reallz interested and whipped out a photo album and chatted Caitlin up in French for awhile, while her French crepe and jam got cold.
We switched Coach Surfer tonight. We left the wonderful home in the northern part of the city, and after hours of wrong buses, since they didnt stop where the map said they would...we made it to the right apartment...but only after randomly running into 2 Terra Madre goers, of which one Caitlin knew from Middlebury 2 years ago...and we got them a place to stay with us as they just missed the last train to their hotel in the Alps. Tonight and tomorrow we stay with another girl...who has flat mates and as we entered the house there are many people in the kitchen...all welcoming smiles..saying CIAO CIAO CIAO!!! Our exhaustion melts away at the enthusiastic greetings. They fed us food, and by the end we had total 4 americans, one south american, 3 italians, 2 germans, and 1 french all exchanging the different languages but still sharing great humor and stories, over lots of wine, bread, nutella, and citgarettes. ...oh and chocolate covered termites and worms....What a great experience! They all just went out for parties...at midnight, and i decided to go to bed so i can actually exist tomorrow. What amazing people, all so full of life and enjoyment, all so beautiful.
What a life!
Ciao
