The Hills of Tuscany from Volterra.
This is the only photo I took when in Volterra. The only one. Sorry. For those who have travelled with me, they know I must take my Canon Rebel T7 to get the best photos of the best places, to relive/make others slightly envious of my worldly travels. Well, I was a bit too distracted to do this. Reason: went with an Italian guy. Any good 'in Italy' movie will tell you-- pick one up while here. "When in Rome..."
As much as I am enjoying the company of this Italian gentleman, I must admit it really shows my lack of Italian understanding, pronunciation, and knowledge. Driving home from a day trip to Volterra, he asked "How do you say grass in Italian?" I missed pronounced the first syllable, but he pretended not to notice. "Ok, how do you say sky?" (Hmmm, well I say sky, but I think in Italy they have a different word for it. Man, this is hard. It's such a simple word. I really should know this one..)--"I don't know."
Lucky for me his knowledge of English is very high. I can actually communicate. Pity for me, my knowledge of Italian is basically non existent. Should I be hitting the books??? I will think of it over a TV show in English.
