And Your Bird Can Sing

We just arrived to the Villa, and it is beautiful! amazing. spacious.country. It's much more what I imagined Italy being like. There are rolling hills, trees, a CASTLE right outside, and our rooms are amazing. The villa has been here since the 1800's. It started out as a small chapel, and was added on to over the years. We met a nice guy on the train, he graduated from a school somewhere in Europe and is in the wine business. Dinner tonight was wonderful! A four course meal: bread, wine, pasta, beef and peas and a lemon cake for dessert. There is a chocolate festival this weekend in Perugia, I'm afraid to even think about how much chocolate I'll be eating! The family here are called the Vasto's, they seem very nice and very artistically talented already! I can't wait to take pictures of this beautiful place :) Our manager, or helper for the time we are here, is named Roberto. His English is excellent and he seems very nice. I think that we are going to Perugia tomorrow for a wine tasting event, I can't wait to explore!
