Osmizze Crawl

A sunny Sunday and I met Massimo and Luca for a coffee and a walk in the sunshine. We got down to the molo (jetty) near Piazza Unita thinking we would have a quick walk then head back to study. But it was such a gorgeous day it seemed a waste to spend it inside...
So the books stayed closed and we went for an Osmizze Crawl! We got in the car and met Chris and Dodi up at school, then headed off to the Carso area.
Chris is a pro at spotting frascas, and soon we were following a Hansel and Gretel-esque trail down country lanes to our first osmizza.
We picked a table in the sunshine near the vines and ordered platters of ham, cheese and bread - and litres of terrano. It was a fabulous afternoon - like a British pub lunch. but with better weather and better food - and a cheaper price!
Having spent a while at one osmizza, we jumped back in the car, and got back on the frasca trail, then found another osmizza, where we basically did the same as we did in the first one!

Reluctantly we ended the day back at Massi's house - working on the finance project and then on an essay for the visiting American professor, ending way too late, but the sacrifice was worth it.
