I sit in a bar in downtown Carovigno to get free WiFi and listen to English Rock n Roll
Franco (43) who works for Gianni did not speak one word to Gianni for 3 years. He lives with his parents. He's the olive tree climber. He's been with Gianni now for 23 yrs.
One year here in Carovigno it did not rain at all from Feb. till Dec.
Cars here last 45-50 years. In Milan they last about 5. Huge difference in humidity
All teenage boys look the same.. Skinny legs, VERY tight jeans, 3-4 inch mohawk that comes down to about 2 inches above their ears, combed straight up to the middle. Rest is almost shaved (1/2 in. or so)
What I would call 'walk ways' in and around these villages are indeed roads. And if you are walking on these 'walkways' and a car is coming, you have to get up on this very narrow stone curb. Don't dare loose your balance-you'll get your foot run over (or worse).
Many kids go to school on tourist busses. No school busses as we know them.
No peanut butter or baked beans or canned soup----anywhere
or boxed cake mixes
Two WWOOFers came back from Sicily and said there was an unbelievable amount of people
with missing fingers.
From the outside looking in, I think most Italians seem pretty unhappy. Someone is always yelling
and it's usually a woman. I never see anyone with a smile.
In church today, The men sat on the left, women on the right.
45 seconds of hot water here----then wait 30 min. for more.
EVERYTHING is closed on Sunday. (my only day off)
