Customs

Here we are, in the evenings it is customary to eat lots of pasta and drink lots of wine. I try very hard not to defy the customs of the country I am in. Thus, pasta and wine almost every night. It is also customary to eat pizza for lunch for very cheap and drink caffe slowly in tiny cups. Thus I have done plenty of that to. Siesta is customary in the afternoons and I take them very seriously-- as do Italians, as they often shut down the city in order to take a rest from their busyyyyy (sarcasm) Roman lives. It is also a custom to go very slowly-- lento-- and I am very good at that. I am in no rush here and it is INCREDIBLE. No agenda, no pressure, no fast paced craziness. Just... lento... Mmmmmmm... So now I am following customs by drinking wine very very slowly. :)
