Here I am: back in Karlsruhe. Last month there was something going on... I went back home on Sep 10th, then Elias came visiting me at my parents´after a couple of days; afterwards, we got together to Rome where we met my best friends, Marco and Wasana, and then flew over to Karlsruhe. After 2 days I left to Bolzano to celebrate two friends - Gianluca and Patrick- graduating last Monday.After all that, I realize, the number of my blog readers is in direct ratio to my travels!
Between beach and mountains I enjoyed Italy as for the first time in my life... a little bit like Elizabeth Gilbert describes in "Eat pray love", a wonderful book Jane gave me in the last period of my Wyoming experience. The food, the landskape, the architecture, the history, the cornetti! I had pretty forgotten how much cornetti alla crema (s. picture) are delicious!
I visited Martina Franca near Lizzano with its pretty old town and fine restaurants. Pizza is amazingly tasty and cheap in Salento-the area where I come from: you pay 2.50 € for the best Margherita! For our short Rome vacation Elias and I got a focaccia (imagine some plain bread) with onions, olives, tomatoes... which my sweet housekeeper Caterina made for us and then some crostata (butter dough with jam and nuts on the top). Then we also went for dinner at Marco and Wasana´s , who made for us some orecchiette al sugo (small ears with tomato sauce), some typical pasta for Apulia, which I´ve recently learned to do!
In Karlsruhe, thanks to Elias, I collected my new furniture, which we had to bring for 3 floors! It was such a pain to move specially the table and the bed WITH mattress!
On Sunday I left to Bolzano, the town where I used to study. It was nice to be there again, to see my old friends, to share experiences and to think together about our histories... thank you guys for everything! Meeting new people was also fun.
My last day in Bolzano was just the icing on the cake for one big reason who could lead me back to this town in the future...
Now I´m ready to start studying... mmm perhaps there´s still some time for another short journey (?)
take care,
Antonella
