To Fair Verona.

I forgot to post this picture before I left. It's a dinner I made for my last night in America. I found the recipe on the Sweet Paul Blog. Chicken drumsticks coated in salt and pepper, black olives, lemon/lemon juice, and parsley. Simple and delicious! 

It is currently 28 degrees here in Firenze. I am trying to convince myself to leave the apartment. It is the coldest winter Italy has seen in 27 years. Why, of all times, now? I despise the cold. 

This weekend we are leaving for a three day excursion to Verona, Lake Garda, and Mantova. Though it is colder there, I am excited to see some other parts of Italy! To go to fair Verona, the town of Romeo and Juliet. To see Lake Garda, about which I have heard such beautiful things. I will be taking many pictures. 

Yesterday I had my Wine Culture in Italy class for the first time. In two hours I learned the whole process of wine tasting, and even got to taste a Prosecco and a Chianti. We also get to go on a field trip to a winery! Needless to say, I am very excited about this course. 

Ok, I think I will do something with this day before we leave for Verona. Have a wonderful Friday, everyone! 

  My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have One who speaks to the Father in our defense -- Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
