Vino Rosso

For some reason... I can't really figure out how to get my cut/copy function to work on this post so just pretend that the text after all the photos come before it.

Here is the crowd in the streets of Marino

  Today I went to a wine festival in Marino. It was awesome and made me feel really Italian. There we speakers all over the town playing Italian folk songs and people singing along and dancing in the streets and eating lots of panini. The fountains in the city were filled with wine and at 530 they were turned on and the town was packed with people trying to get free wine. People fed us grapes and shared their wine and everyone was really friendly and happy and it was sort of how I had imagined/wanted Italy to be . The train ride back to Roma was so so so packed. Every seat was filled and there were tons of people in the aisles and sitting on others laps and some sitting on top of the seats and clinging to the luggage racks.


I'm starting to understand what people are saying when they speak in Italian... at least in Rome.

From what I've heard, Florentine Italian is different than Venetian Italian which is different than Sicilian Italian...

Here are some pictures from the wine festival:
