We got to Pino's last night after arriving in Torino and trying to figure out where to find the nearest bus stop into the small town of Canale. Pino gave as directions in broken english from the center of town, though it seemed we'd be stranded till the morning. We took a chance, waited for the last bus of the night at a random bus stop and were helped by a crazy woman who was looking for an invitation to Canale. The big, blue bus we were instructed to find brought us down curving roads through the Alps way too fast for a city bus, but we made it alive. We were relieved when Pino was waiting for us at the bus stop at almost 1am. He took us to his house where we have 4 beds in our room, one for each of us. We stayed up taking about the environment and life.
Today we got to sleep in because Pino picked up his kids from school and was teaching the high school he works at. His kids were great, Elsa 14 snd Barardo 12. Later in the day we took a tour of the vineyard, tried all the wines it produces, and played archery with Barardo. We ate dinner with Pino and his kids who made us dinner! Tomorrow we will be working on the farm!
