Cultural Immersion


Each day we learn our Italian Lessons as we observe, absorb, and inquire:

  • The best food is FRESH and SIMPLE. In Italy we have been eating produce that is in season, bread made that morning, cheese made within 2 days, and fresh herbs. We can name every ingredient on our plate and at times can see the field where it was produced.
  • To cut the Italian way: fork in the left hand, cut one bite with the knife in the right hand, eat one bite, then repeat.
  • Once you get used to eating dinner between 22:00 and midnight it seems early when someone suggests eating at 20:30.
  • When driving: everyone has the right of way!
  • Everyone drives a manual car and uses their bumpers
  • When learning a language just try
  • The key to the Mediterranean longevity is a combination of nourishment, less stress, and climate.
  • ENJOY EACH MOMENT!
