We arrived in San Giovanni a Piro a week ago. What a week it has been.
The town is in the middle of a national park, called Cilento. We are 10 km from the Tyrhennian Sea, up at the base of mount Bulgheria. It is beautiful - sunny and warm, surrounded by hills and water. Everything seems to grow here, the people are very healthy from all ofthr fresh food and walking everywhere.
So far we had eaten a fresh pasta with Wild Boar, fresh buffalo mozzerella, veggies from the garden, fish from the sea, and delicious olive oil and wine from the property. We are tending to some vines and helping to build a fence, among other projects. We work about 4 hours in the morning, then rest and work again from 4-6 in the afternoon. Every nigh our host, Sebastiano, makes a delicious dinner of local food.
This is an incredible experience. Im writing today from the bar (cafe) in town. I'll bring my journal next time and write more.
