There is an interesting part of this trip that has not been discussed, and that is popular culture. Most people are aware of Michael Jackson's passing. Even in these small hill top towns, the people are curious to talk about it. Maybe by talking to American's they will better understand the meaning or the draw of the popular culture? Not sure, but it was a topic discussed.
Of course today, there was another big event on everyone's mind the G8 Summit. The group is about an hour from the event and it has been on most people's mind. Most people are asking Carmella what she thinks about Obama. There is a curiosity there and they want to know our world just as we long to know their world.
Here are some photos of Pacentro, Italia. This is where the group ate and visited today. Everyone it seems is becoming an expert on the local wines, foods and flavors they have sampled!
This is the castle they toured today. It is currently under renovation.
