I left my heart in Santo Stefano Roreo

Soo much has happened since I last blogged. We saw Davide and his friends many times after our first meeting. Life was amazing in Canale because of Davide, but not so much farm and work wise. It was time to leave Pino's- the weather was cold, the work was scarce, and the accommodations were sub par. For our time at the vineyard we each received 2 bottles of wine. We are currently rolling through Italy lugging 8 bottles of amazing wine! We took a train from Torino to Naples (the danger zone, where the sketchiest people thrive and your bags must be watch intently..) on Monday, and found ourselves at a warm and welcoming hostel called "Hostel of the Sun." We spent yesterday seeing the town of Sorrento, a beautiful seaside village built into rock cliffs. The weather was incredible. Clear, and the most sun we've seen since last summer. I got mildly seasick on the ferry to the town, which isn't that uncommon for me, but it was well worth the trip. Southern Italy is a drastic change from the northern alps region we traveled from. It's like we've entered a tropical wonderland. Though it is great here I miss Canale, and I've run into some bad luck. Yesterday I bought a sandwich and forgot all my change! I realized about an hour later and when I went back a different person was working.. Hence I lost almost 20 euro. Then today on the city bus Casey and I (in our travel backpacks) could not reach, nor understand that we had to use the ticket stamping machine. We got fined 37.50 for a 1.10 fare.. That sucked. We soon realized Kirsten got a fine, too.
Anywho, we are now on the bus to Avellino, going to meet Rosa, the host of our next farm! We shall see how it compares to Pino's "palace."
