Hey guys,
I had the day off today so I have pictures for you. I went shopping in Bormio and it was good stuff. I didn’t buy anything but sometimes it is nice to just look. I did fall in love with a comforter set. Every time we go into the town I always stop and drool over the window display of this comforter/ sham set.
Y'all will be intrigued to know that everything closes at 1:00 here. From 1-4 every single shop in the whole city (and sometimes some restaurants) close for lunch. There were probably about five people on the street during this time. That was weird for me because I can understand being closed at night but stores are never closed during the day in the US.
Anyway, back to the stuff you care about. Yesterday we went up the slope to have lunch at Mrs. Mosconi’s favorite restaurant. We rode on the gondola up and then walked up the rest of the way. Every once in a while the kids would tell me about how you have to ski to get past the flat areas (you have to do the “egg” so you go really fast down the hill and don’t have to push yourself. Michela assured me that she pulls the kids and they never push themselves.). On the way down we followed a bike/ hiking trail and we saw an ant hill that was up to my thigh. I am not kidding! If you fell into this thing you would be eaten alive in probably less than 5 minutes. I don’t think you would be able to get out of it. The ants were the size of paperclips so, now I’m terrified of Italian ants. We also saw a bees nest and we pulled up a pine sapling that was growing in the middle of the run. They were going to cut it down anyway because it would be in the middle of the ski run so we are going to plant it in the yard where it can live free (well, as free as a tree can live).
We also found daisies. I love these flowers. They were the white ones with yellow centers. I told Elena they are like the Little Mermaid flowers when she plays “He Loves me; He Loves Me Not.” So, the rest of the way down (did I mention that we walked down the ski run. I’m starting to think that there is WAY too much exercise going on in Bormio) we played that game. Guess what! He loves me. Apparently his name is Ramone, too.
Here is the story of Ramone. Ramone is the extremely hot, good looking guy that built the families new house. All of Michela’s friends would occasionally “check out the house” because he would always be there in his short shorts (I’m like ewww at this point but when in Rome…). So, whenever we play “Who loves you” or “He loves me/not” it is always Ramone who is the lucky contestant of the day. So, Ramone loves me and I am one lucky girl.
I think that’s all folks. Check out the pics!

The red thing on the wall is a mailbox. The little hut has free cooking lessons on Tuesday nights.
