also yesterday i ate grapes that are the type of grapes they make wine into because i went into Udine, the region just north of trieste. its a really pretty little wine making towns just below the alps in some other mountains. the mountains were SOooooooOO pretty. i had a delicious dinner of gnocchi, frecca (sp?)(whichis like hashbrowns in a away with cheese), some sort of quiche thing, wine from the region, and they have this other drink its like a shot they call grappa but you sip on it.. so i tried it but it was really gross to me so i didnt have it.
anyways back to the grapes... wine grapes are REALLY REALLY DELICIOUS. they are like a cross between grapes and muscadines and the inside mushes out in one slimey piece and they are so so so good i could eat them all day.
anyways .. i ahvent posted a picture in awhile so here is a picutre or two of the people ive been hanging out with, some erasmus (exchange students) from portugal. i like them lots they are really nice really crazy and really fun like people im used to back home instead of these other people ive been around that i have found a little bland.
it's funny that you write about this now because i went to a wine tasting today at a vineyard here! unfortunately i didn't get to try any of the grapes because they were all harvested a few weeks ago. i'm glad you've found some cool people to hang out with!!
ReplyDeletesorry you aren't feeling well Roxanne. i hope you get better soon. We are fine and we really enjoy keeping up with you via your blog. I looked on the map today and found Trieste. I imagined you farther south for some reason, somewhere around Rome I guess. Anyway, I looked at some pictures of TRieste, too. Beautiful. Take care Roxanne. Todd and Z say hello. Love, REbecca
ReplyDeleteYes, they look like a fun crew! Are you sure they weren't just fun because of tasting lots of wine? :-)
ReplyDeleteWhich grape variety is it that you like? Or what kind of wine are they made into? Might be interesting to know.
Hope you're all better now.
Love, Dad.
