A woman was driving by me in her car today when she suddenly
halted to a stop, then shouted “Scusi! Scusi?” from her window at me.
Naturally, because this is how I respond to everyone when they speak to me in
Italian, I was like “Uhhh… um.. uhh.” Finally I got out some variation of “No
parlo… uhh… italiano. Mi dispiache…” to which she replied “GREAT. I don’t speak
Italian either!” She then asked for directions and I’m pretty sure I gave her
the correct directions to where she needed to go… hopefully. She just needed to
get out of Orvieto so I sent her down a street that I’m 90% sure leads out of
Orvieto. Mostly because it’s downhill. Anyways, I would call that an “Italian
success” for the day, but I didn’t even speak any Italian. But whatever, it was
still a success because I gave someone directions!
It was super cold and a little rainy today so I spent most
of my time drawing in the studio and palazzo, and then taking an hour-long nap.
Meh. Tomorrow we are going to learn more about our trip to Rome on Thursday and
the details that go with that!
