Sitting here in bed after a couple absolutely perfect bottles of wine and waiting on some work emails, so what the heck, it's blog time. Hung out all day at the house around the pool sipping Aperol Spritzers. Then went into Montone to pick up meat from the butcher and stopped off at our bar for a quick drink and a few rounds of cards with the kids. I am in love with this town. It feels like the Beasts castle from Beauty and the Beast. And out of nowhere thunder hit and rain started to fall. The dank smell from the moist stone walls added to the ambiance and I was transported 1000 years back. After lugging a huge piece of meat to the car from the macelleria we went to the fancier of the pizza shops in town and had an incredible dinner while watching Italian tele of Funniest Home Videos. We had some beautiful local wine, but after drinking all day we didn’t finish the bottle and our server told us (without the cork) “just bring it home.” So I am now finishing off the remainder of the bottle, working, while Shiloh is hopefully dreaming about how buff I am. Which I know is a dream...dang it, I need to diet stat!
