What is there to do here on the weekends? Watch the cat pounce around the courtyard, bike to the Saturday market, buy a pasticiotto from La Cometa in the center of town, enjoy leftovers from the week and drink tea while doing homework. Yes, although we are enjoying our stay in Italy, we must study, and write, and think and rethink where we plan to travel over the next three months.

The weather this afternoon was lovely, it felt so good as the brisk wind whipped through my hair; not cold enough that it felt as if snowfall is approaching, but refreshing. We are lucky to experience rainfall every few days here, instead of the harshness of January snow! That is why I thought it would be a perfect day to set up a scene outside. An unique table on the patio below my bedroom balcony has caught my attention. I am distracted by the thought of its potential purposes, so today's photo shoot includes this rustic table to set the perfect scene.
