Thanksgiving in italy is not too bad! i missed celebrating with the extended family... but... i have to say it is hard to beat a celebration in the hilly village of costiglione di asti.
from the farm in bibbona, i made my way to the train station in a hail and thunder storm to head north to milano. i met up with tony and marlee!!!! Tony is the brother of my aunt kate, and marlee is their mother. tony is sharing this INCREDIBLE little farm house in costiglione. it is so gorgeous... i don't know where to start... it was WONDERFUl to be with them, speak some english, be with family, eat amazing food, relax. they took such amazing care of me.
i spent most of my time on the day bed with a book, occasionally getting up to make more tea, eat a cookie, or add a log to the fire.
for thanksgiving, i helped marlee make pumpkin pies, icebox cookies and prep some veggies. it was a feast.
the town is the perfect size. i can't believe the place exists... it was such a treat to be a part of their thanksgiving and time at the house.
