Danilo and I visited Giulia’s scout camp in the woods. the place was at the foot of the mountains, surrounded by an incredible lake. we kayaked on the lake and sang radio songs because of my language barrier with the kids. the lake was pretty magnificent - there was an entire village beneath it due to rising water over the years, which really boggles my mind.
in the afternoon we stole a quick swim in the lake before heading to Manuela and Dimetrio’s house for a big family dinner. I spent a lot of time in this house when I visited Italy as a child, and being back in the courtyard brought back many memories. I leave the village tomorrow and am starting to miss people more. my time in Rauscedo has brought me a whole lot of joy. rekindling my friendship with Danilo has been very special for me. I am well aware of how lucky I am, though just this morning I recognise the void usually filled by the familiarity of my loved ones. right now it’s open. I’m lucky to have instant contact with friends and family over the phone, I would just love to hug them right now.
but my zias and zios (aunties and uncles) are making me feel very loved, my cugini making me laugh and my playlists peacefully making my mind work. have a wonderful day << x
