just a little quick note.
Reading over these I am so ashamed of the grammar/spelling errors, the general way it's written. I am usually the obnoxious friend who chuckles condescendingly as she pulls out her red pen for everything from legal documents to handmade get-well cards.
So I just wanted to clear up. Language barrier or not, I am not usually this poor a speller. I literally have mere seconds at a time in between stuffing my face with cheese and being the worst ambassador ever to try to get the internets working.

Today in la cantina (the winery) we were bottling and labelling for a big shipment. While we were there, the cabineiri showed up. This is like the police I think. This elderly pink faced man came in, very neatly groomed and tons of medals and stripes pinned to his coat, complete with tasseled epaulets. He discussed something very briefly and seriously with my 'boss' and then saw me. He asked my boss who the strange beautiful* young lady was, clumsily cleaning corks. My boss tried to explain the exchange program but the old man stopped listening past "Canadian."
"Eh...TORONTO!He said excitedly. "CALGARY! Cities." He looked like a proud little kid handing you wilted dandelions. I nodded. Yes, those are in Canada.
It turns out the reason he came by was because a strange car was seen driving down the road earlier that day. Welcome to Cinigiano , population 300.
* i definitely heard and understood the word bella. and i only mention it because i take compliments where ever i can get them.
