Farewells on Wednesday




Wednesday we said goodbye to the first member of our class going overseas for an exchange. Nicoletta was flying out on Friday for 6 months in Guangzhou, so we needed to give her a good send off.
Giulia's boyfriend Roby has family connections to a place in Santa Croce - in the hills near Trieste, close to Prosecco. The agriturismo is normally closed on Wednesdays, but thanks to Giulia sweet-talking Roby's aunt, we had the place opened to ourselves. The food was magnificent and plentiful, and for E20 including all the wine and grappa we were all relaxed and happy again!
We were very well behaved though (or perhaps just exhausted after the night before!) and went straight home in a flotilla of cars after dinner.
Good luck to Nico on her Guangzhou adventure - its a world apart from Trieste! We'll miss her...
