We woke up around 10 a.m. and went to a very but very little food shop, it's too small to call it a supermarket or even a corner store. Believe it or not, in it they have everything you need to eat. Ham, cheese, bread, milk, fruits and vegetables, pasta, meat and chicken.
We got some pasta, some ham, cheese, bread, and a brioche. A brioche is like a croissant but in Italy they are sweet pastries, they have a filling of jelly or nutella. This one didn't have a filling but it had a lot of sugar outside. When I had a bite I was reminded of the taste of a Mexican pastry from a Guatemalan Panaderia in Dallas. I use to have these conchas con azucar (creo que se llaman nubes) of course what better than with a latte made by my mom right before the workday to start. It was really the best way to start the day.
Anyway, after the little shopping, we went for a run. It was about one hour run. It was great, it would have been better if I were not starting to get sick. I had a runny nose the whole time. It was a hard uphill to start and then a long flat zone until another hard hill and we turned around to go back to the starting point.
We had lunch after the run and watched the movie on TV, Superman, the old one, with Christopher Reeve.
I had never seen it, it was wonderful. After the movie, we got ready to go to Vezza d'Oglio. It's a town before Ponte di Legno. Ponte di Legno is a very chic place to go in the winter to ski. Vezza is a small town in the middle of the mountains. The reason for going was because one of Riccardo's friends from college lives there. His name is Diego. I also got to meet his girlfriend, Valentina. We went to have dinner together and then the best part of the weekend. We went up this mountain to see deer. Detail being that there was crazy fog. You couldn't see more than 30 yards ahead of you. So even if we knew we weren't going to have much luck we went anyway. It was actually pretty cool, we could hear them but they sounded so close, it was quite frightening.
After hearing them for some, we wanted to go to another place to hear them but we got nothing, so we decided to go back down and then the amazing moment...we saw 3 of them! They seemed young, one was a male because he had the antlers, small but they were there.
It was soo cute, they all had white butts. Pretty neat, they ran too fast to even get a picture of them but we saw them soo close. It was amazing.
We stopped at this little restaurant on our way down to see the place inside. It was super nice inside all made of wood. It was nice way to get warm too after being out in the cold listening to deer. After getting warm, we went went home and the day finished. I was really tired after the run, dinner, deer, and everything that I knew I would sleep like a baby when I got home.
