SOME FUNNY OBSERVATIONS SOME JUST OBSERVATIONS SAN SALVATORE
No one but no one-no matter the age, young or old, stops at a STOP SIGN.....anywhere...EVER
3 things I wish I brought: skin-so-soft (mosquitos) and oxy clean (to soak stains off clothes)
And a flashlight. With batteries. The one you wear around your forehead.
If the washing machine is not stuffed so full you can't even fit another sock in it-don't start the wash
Every evening the supper is centered around BREAD and what you can put on it
There are AT LEAST 7 recyclable containers at all times...each having a different purpose
We don't eat butter because we don't know what that cow ate that gave that milk
(but smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day is ok)
Only feed the cats once a day so they get hungry enough to catch and eat some geckos
You don't have to be hooked up to cable tv to have to pay for it. Just having a tv warrants paying
CACHI a fruit falling from trees everywhere. English name.....................PERSIMMON
Another fruit that people have a lot of and are giving too much to us of.................QUINCE
Quince butter: after cooking the inedible raw fruit for a long time-It's one of the best things I've
ever tasted.
Many trees full of them now-everywhere-free-so I make juice.........................POMEGRANATES
All children attend school Mon. thru Sat. (yes Saturday)
If you sell your house in the "Red Zone"; area around Vesuvius in Naples, the government will
give you about 40,000 Euro (about $60,000 U.S.) just to get out of there. Vesuvius is always
bubbling and ready to blow! So people sell their houses to their friends. Gov't never checks
Grassano Park about 1 km from here-beautiful-ice cold, crystal clear river from mountain-
always around 40 deg. even in 100 deg. of Summer-there lives many BEAVER RATS!
Look just like a beaver in water-with a rat tail-and bright reddish orange beaver teeth.
Cute
No one has a clothes dryer. Sometimes it takes 3 days for your clothes to dry outside.
Concetta (Francesco's wife) doesn't go out very much. She always says she has to wash her
baby-Fabio(5). "Francesco, where is Concetta?" "Washing the baby". Too funny
You order a prosciutto cotto panini, you get a very fresh roll with ONE slice of meat-that's it!
No mayo, no lettuce or cheese or pickle. I went to the store and got just enough meat, cheese,
rolls and olive mix to put together 2 paninis. Gave one to MAX (12 and always hungry)
All he could say was:
WOOOOOOWWWW!! THANKS!!! He'd never eaten or seen a grinder before.
When I, on the one speed, approach a certain house on the way to Telese, 4 little, tiny dogs
see me coming. They crouch down so I can hardly see them, then as I go by, come racing
out at me barking like crazy. I almost ran one over (by accident). It's right near the 2000 yr.
old Roman spa that is so overgrown with trees and plants you can hardly see what it used to be.
As soon as I empty the water dish in the chicken house each morning, the duck who lives with the chickens goes and drinks the very dirty, muddy water and the rooster stands in the clean water.
