With 9 days left here in Feltre before I move to near Trento - out of an apartment and into a BnB I'm taking stock of everything I've got with me:
- Checking my stash of food.toiletries and etcs and trying to work out if they'll last the distance.
- Balancing the weight of things lost/chucked/posted home already against new stuff bought: 2 jackets, 2 pairs of shorts, 2 polo shirts, sandals presents, to name just a few things
- Checking locations I really want to see before I leave here.

Cultural difference abound and perhaps none more than the traditions around a wedding. Not that I'm sure of all the details...all I know is that when you hear a total cacophony of car horns blaring, blaring, blaring...it's not an emergency..well not of the normally accepted type of emergency ;-)...it's a line of cars off to a wedding. And to help you get to the party you paint directions on the road...this "sposo" is definitely clever...others a somewhat more basic and lewd.
As an English speaker there are many words in Italian that are similar to English ones and then there are ones that are not...false friends they are called. The word for a river is "fiume" and the word for a dry/almost dry creek bed is "torrente" which I find amusing. The pix above is definitely of a torrente.
