Catching Up

The time has come for the inevitable post apologizing for not posting. The last week has been so busy I feel like I've fallen too far behind to properly catch up: we've gone from the vacation speed of southern Italy to the harvest-time rush up north. Hence, there will probably be a post about all of last week, then a post about Venice, then by tomorrow evening I'll need another post about the eel festival. In the mean time, I have my photos automatically upload every couple days, and I've started adding captions to them while I can still remember where each one is from. I'm almost glad that we only have three weeks here in Ferrara, because I feel if this kind of schedule were to continue longer, my brain would get overloaded and I'd simply start forgetting all about what I did yesterday just so I could take in what was happening today. Thank goodness Sundays are still really considered a day of rest here, so that everything is closed and the only thing one can do is go for walks and drink caffés and nap in the sun. And, of course, write blog posts.
