Italy. Hot and Gorgeous. ...Delicious food. Rad people. Denny and Maureen, who run festival we volunteered at, are an awesome couple from PA. They have become great friends.
So while we were camping for 10 days Rock onthe Rock festival (hairnet photo, cooking in the makeshift kitchen), we met an Italian fellow, Giovanni (photo of guy) who invited us to his home in Volterra, Tuscany. So weve been staying in a lovely guesthouse surrounded by olive trees and a swooping valley. His family is so rad, we made real wood.fired pizza with his Dad at their home. His Mom, Anna is a beautiful tennis.shoe and dress wearing enthusiastic lady who doesnt speak English but asks us to do singing, drumming concerts at her house every evening. The gelato has been insanely good, we have to share or we wont fit on the plane to come home.
Last night, they made a special dinner for us (that lasted about 3 hours), including all sorts of delicacies, not the least of which is pasta with truffle sauce (truffles are special mushrooms, and they take special dogs into the woods to find them).
So, tomorrow we got to Assisi to see what we can learn from St. Francis. We are well fed and have gotten car sick a number of times on the windy roads of Italy. Jesus is doing a good work here in this nation. There is freedom springing up in the hearts of the hungry.
We hope you enjoy the photos and stories...there is no way to say all that is happening, or mention all the beautiful people and places we are finding. The villages in the photos are San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra. The fellow with the long hair is Pastor Bob, an instrumental fellow in starting Christian Rock, Pastor and chaplain for countless musical artists. Enjoy!
With Thankfulness to you for your friendship,
Joseph and Christy
