OMG Our Very Last Lunch in Todi 🙁
(events from March 2025) Wow a month’s worth of living, freezing, getting rained upon, and eating out has come to a close. So now we face a final choice: where to have lunch on this final day lol Sam saw something on the specials menu which mentioned liver, and figured I would probably really like… Continue reading

Almost Done With Todi
(notes from March 2025) Kinda crazy that we’re almost done with Todi! So was it successful, the whole working-abroad-for-a-month thing? Well yes and no… yes in that we could both do our jobs pretty much every day. No, in a couple of ways: when we first planned this, Sam had a light workweek of around… Continue reading

Another Crazy Meal in Todi
(notes from March 2025) We are still working full-time throughout the week, so pretty much the only interesting thing I can post about are our meals… Sam was up almost till 2:00AM last night with one of her teams. Today as usual we slept in late: stocks don’t open til 2:30 so I’ve got plenty… Continue reading

Roman Cisterns
(Even more notes from March 2025) And then it was time to finally check out the Roman Cisterns! Todi is a hilltop town, so the Romans couldn’t exactly run aqueducts up to it; instead they built huge cisterns in which to store rainwater. The main piazza is built on top of these, and the locals… Continue reading

Another Couple of Days in Todi
(notes from March 2025) Let’s hope people enjoy this blog for the pictures rather than the unimaginative post titles!! Anyway, it was Saturday so we decided to wonder around to a new part of town… Todi is really tiny but somehow there is always an area we haven’t yet been to. Suddenly we stumbled upon… Continue reading

Still in Scenic Todi Italy
(notes from March 2025) We have been here long enough to have accumulated piles of various complicated recycling, and it was finally time to drag everything down to the nearest recycling centers. Naturally, it is needlessly complicated… The entire apparatus is under lock and key (I guess to prevent over-zealous recyclers from overflowing it all?)… Continue reading

Still Freezing in Todi
(notes from March 2025) But unfortunately, Sam developed food poisoning or something and had an incredibly epic barfing episode here which I have neglected to document 😀 Anyway, she has been a nonstop upchucking marvel ever since!! She’s gone about 36 hours without eating much of anything, but she’s somehow still not empty lol But… Continue reading
