Siamo Arrivati!


We are here! Though we haven't actually gone far to explore, there is a lot to say about the apartment and the people. We were picked up at the airport and arrived to a two bedroom apartment with a well-stocked kitchen and a hot meal awaiting us. The desire to eat was the only thing that overcame our urge to go to sleep immediately. The two bedroom apartment seems palatial compared to our studio in New York and there is a patio outside which is surrounded by lemon trees. As you can see in the picture, the unrippened ones look like limes which makes me wonder if limes are really just green lemons... I picked a yellow one this morning, but I think by the time they turn yellow on the tree they are really too ripe and soft. Since I was born and raised in a colder climate, I hope someone can comment on this perplexing citrus problem.
