We use our bocce balls as a doorstop currently. My parents have become very fond of Bocce although I haven’t become a convert. We use our bocce balls as a doorstop currently.

I just couldn't shake that chocolate shake feeling ;) Actually just as I arrived in the village, my Aussie friend found me and said she was in the mood for a burger...I figured she just meant one that she'd make herself, but then she said the magic word, and we were off!<br/><br/>Madelyne, yes, it was a great weekend. In a little village where not much happens on a daily basis, it's nice to have these things every once in a while :)<br/><br/>Jenn, I'm planning on regrouping this weekend--I taught Wednesday and now I'm off to teach today (Thursday), then I have running around to do tomorrow...but come Saturday, it's naptime!<br/><br/>Chris and Erin, glad to oblige :)<br/><br/>Lifelong, I'm so happy that you're getting giddy...I love the excitement of an approaching trip; glad I could help!<br/><br/>Curatrix, actually I've never seen a woman playing bocce in Calabria, but then again, they're still big on having men sit at one end of the table and women at the other...do you sense another blog post??<br/><br/>Linley, Kimberly, Nadine, ViVi, Anna, Wendy, thanks for stopping by; some of you girls play bocce too? You'll have to come and give me lessons! ViVi, you're right about the women thing as well ;)<br/><br/>Carole (and any one else waiting for video), I've had trouble sending them, and I have no idea why. When I have more time this weekend, I'll play around with it.<br/><br/>Ah, and P's arm can be seen pouring the wine (his father's homemade brew), and also on the bocce court in a black sweater. Don't worry; I'll post a better photo soon (there's sort of one somewhere in the archives--maybe the "Post-Christmas Wrap Up" post from December)?<br/><br/>Sharon, the official measuring stick, was, well, a stick...we're so simple here ;)<br/><br/>Giulia, looking forward to your post!<br/><br/>Cheeky, actually yes, my village does have a more international flair than most...we now have Swedes, Danes, Germans, English, Americans, Canadians, Aussies...most aren't year-round, but it's still rare for Calabria.

Cherrye, yes, McD’s. I just couldn’t shake that chocolate shake feeling ;) Actually just as I arrived in the village, my Aussie friend found me and said she was in the mood for a burger…I figured she just meant one that she’d make herself, but then she said the magic word, and we were off!

Madelyne, yes, it was a great weekend. In a little village where not much happens on a daily basis, it’s nice to have these things every once in a while :)

Jenn, I’m planning on regrouping this weekend–I taught Wednesday and now I’m off to teach today (Thursday), then I have running around to do tomorrow…but come Saturday, it’s naptime!

Chris and Erin, glad to oblige :)

Lifelong, I’m so happy that you’re getting giddy…I love the excitement of an approaching trip; glad I could help!

Curatrix, actually I’ve never seen a woman playing bocce in Calabria, but then again, they’re still big on having men sit at one end of the table and women at the other…do you sense another blog post??

Giulia, looking forward to your post!

Cheeky, actually yes, my village does have a more international flair than most…we now have Swedes, Danes, Germans, English, Americans, Canadians, Aussies…most aren’t year-round, but it’s still rare for Calabria.
