Tonight it rained and immediately everything cooled down. It came fast and furious and windows were swinging shut and we were racing around the apartment closing them, deciding which direction the rain was coming, opening them again to invite the cool air in.
When evening came, Anders started to stir after I thought he’d be down for the night, so I suggested we take a walk with him. I put him in the sling in only a diaper (cool, yes, but not so cool yet; it had been 100 degrees!), and Steve and I went out. There was live music, and a big group of people heading into the theatre. There were empty wine glasses, sometimes several on one tiny table, and laughter. People stopped to look at Anders, he gives them a smile. I had randomly come across Marlena De Blasi when reading something on Orvieto online and then, who do I see sitting there with her husband eating at a cafe on the Via del Duomo, but her (I bet you guessed it.). I haven’t read her books, so it didn’t mean much to me. Mostly just funny that I had come across her name moments earlier. (Any fans out there?)
We need to watch our spending–especially when it comes to eating out (such an easy place to unknowingly spend so much)–and so we decided against everything but a small gelato. I said, “Piccolo, coppeta. Pistachio y stracciatella.” I string these words together, smiling while I do, almost like an invitation for them to laugh at me if they want to (need to!), but still it does get my point across because, lo and behold, I got a small cup with pistachio and stracciatella! I’ve had three gelato so far, and this is my favorite combination and the one I think I’ll keep going back to. I usually stick to fruity flavors–lemon, strawberry. But I can’t shake this combination.
While we walked, I had one of those hypothetical if-you-had-all-the-money-in-the-world conversations with Steve (do you have those?). “If we had tons of money, would you buy an apartment here?” He said yes, perhaps, but that he’d want to have a purpose, a business. We decided on an American breakfast joint. Eggs, bacon, hash browns, enormous pancakes with blueberries, smoothies, giant cups of coffee, cold half-and-half in silver pitchers placed on every table. Nothing against the Italian breakfast (that I am happily partaking in on the reg) but there’s definitely nothing like an American breakfast place anywhere (at least in Orvieto). Do you think it’d go over well? Would the Italians come?
In Florence they have a successful spot with American breakfast!
Are you guys talking about The Diner in Florence? We tried to go last time we were there but it was packed. How was it?!

It's right near the Bargello, wasn't there last time I was in Florence.

I think it might go over in parts of Italy, but not sure Orvieto specifically. Maybe nearby in Rome or Naples? One of my favorite memories of that city is walking the piazza after dusk, eating cantaloupe gelato and taking in the view, where the veil of shadows covers the valley below the funiculare and town. Such a beautiful spot, enjoy this amazing adventure, I'm envious of your travels!
Nope, don't think Italians would come…they're saving themselves for lunch! 🙂
In Florence there is an awesome place that serves American Breakfast, and its delicious and popular with the study abroad students. American's miss their brunch I think…
Oh my gosh, yes, I am a huge Marlena de Blasi fan! Her writings on relationships and life are so candid and honest, the way she talks about food always makes me want to immediately move to Italy and start cooking. She just seems like such a eccentric yet sincere person. I've read A Thousand Days in Venice at least three times and was just thinking of one of the characters in Antonia and Her Daughters while walking my dogs the other day!
When we visited Ireland I treated the money like play money at first. I didn't actually think about how much anything cost. Once I did the conversion, the spending slowed down.
I can't explain how much I love this story.
Heck yes to the breakfast idea! My husband and I honeymooned in Italy back in June and by the end of the 2 weeks were dying for a good American breakfast. On our last day we realized a place in Riomaggiore (where we stayed while in Cinque Terre) was known for it's American breakfast. It was PACKED … definitely not by Italians though. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Loving reading about your Italian adventure! (Though it is making me painfully jealous!)
I am LOVING all of your blog posts on your time in Italy. I just got back end of May, we were visiting the town where my Nonno (grandpa) is from in the Piedmont area. To live in Italy for a summer is on my bucket list, for the moment though I'll live vicariously through your adventures 🙂
If not the Italians, the Americans would!! The man of mine HAS to have an American breakfast no matter what country we're in, so if you ever strike it rich, buy an apartment there and open that restaurant of yours, know that we will be there..repeatedly. 😉
I can't speak for the Italians, but this Minnesotan would be there in a hot second! Also, if you could please keep flavored coffee creamer on deck that would be great.
Love all these travel posts and love your idea of an American breakfast place. I lived in Kuwait for several years and while there someone opened up an "american" breakfast place and it was a HUGE hit not only with the expats from America (obviously) but also those from other countries in the Middle East
