Just a brief update....
Yesterday we met Darcy and Adolfo's new addition to their family - Baby Alfalfa (aka- Filippo) and then had to say goodbye to them and their amazing farm. We made it down the hill from the farm with our huge packs and stayed the night at the Haerrs' in Spoleto. (Grazie mille Haerrs!)
There are so many pictures from our last day at the farm but here are my favorites that I'd like to share.
Our last day on the farm was the only day that it didn't rain (/hail) so we went on a hike up to Paterno. They have an marvelous view of Darcy and Adolfo's farm:

Ciao Gelso
Ciao Lola
This morning, Nick and I were kindly taken to the Spoleto train station by the Haerrs, who woke up at the crack of dawn to share some coffee and cantucci one last time before our 5:40am train to Firenze (Florence). We just arrived at our B&B- Il Grillo de Firenze where this very sweet Italian lady (Lara) has already made us feel at home.
Our plan, as of now, is to stay in Florence for 2 days and then head to Rome for our final days in Italy. I think Nick is ready to see Leo and eat some Mexican food, but I don't want to leave yet! I love it here.
P.S. Today is technically Nick's (and many of our friends) graduation day from UC Davis!!! We will be celebrating in Italy!
Ciao ciao!
Ciao ciao!
We enjoyed every moment of Nick visiting with Wwoofers and finally meeting Tee. And to think, it all started with a blog posting on Thanksgiving and Nick's mom reading it! How cool is that. Savor the last few nights.

Edit Anonymous said... It has been so awesome to be able to share this experience with you though the wonder of the internet and skype and the Haerrs. I am so grateful to them and to Darcy and Adolfo and all you met, who made your experience so wonderful. I can't wait to see you but on the otherhand I find myself kinda crying from the emotion of it all about to be over. Ciao! Mexican food on the horizon. Safe travels. Ma
