This is my grandfather's sister, Assunta. She is the main
attraction in Anduins, and through her kitchen passes a great
variety of people. It's fun to hang out there and just see who is
going to show up next.
This is Elia, Assunta's daughter. She is one of the nicest people
I've ever met, and she gave us a great tour of Anduins and drove us everywhere. She hates
to have her picture taken so this was a rare opportunity.
This is Claudio, Elia's husband. He is from the Fruili region
where Anduins is located, and he would speak Fruilano, the local
dialect, with Assunta, but we couldn't understand a word. Claudio
is a chef with his own restaurant, and he cooked most of the meals while we were there. He's an awesome
chef.
This is Sara, Elia and Claudio's daughter. She is getting up late
because she was out all night partying down by the seaside (about
an hour away).
Naomi is looking for her first cappucino of the day.
What the hell did they just say? Were they speaking to us? Was
that italian or Fruilano? Are they waiting for us to answer? I
have no idea what is going on...
