Eat, Play, Laugh at Auronzo, Province Of Belluno, Veneto,Italia.

The most happening dinner i ever had in Italy, with this guys chatting over wine and food.. and Italian  joke that i couldn't even catch, they are marvellous people.

If you could recall the Novel written by Elizabeth Gilbert, on EAT, PRAY,LOVE.. or the movie on Julia Robert last November 2010, about her journey to discovery, that is how exactly i would like to describe the life (la vita) in Auronzo,Province of Belluno. Well, of course, nonetheless working hard for a living has been in the blood of a pressured economy in Italy; but the pressured and hardwork, plus the "family & friends precious time" is what made the fulfilled life of Venetia.

The continuous barbeque of pork chop, lamb got the guys excited :)

I have the privilege to attend Roberto (a good friend of Marco and Sarah) house warming. Talking about house warming.. There goes the food, (panne, funghi, yes.. the salami ) and of course the wine (Vino) and whole lots of  barbequeue. The table were arranged bypass everyone to say "Ciao, me chiamo Melissa, piacerre".. and throw this Asian smile all the way.. (yes i like the feeling) but hey... at certain point of time i also escaped with Deborah to the quiet place of  montana ( mountain) where you see the whole stretch of pine trees just along your eyes. 

This is the kind of Pork chop i am talking about, solely porky, so you can imagine i come back with a tonnes of kilos gained :)

Sara, brings her passion anywhere she go, her kitchenette we set up in Roberto's house even ! 

Some private time with Deborah... Grazie Deb for this photo. 

The fiesta went all day long, through the lazy afternoon and night where, the man sleep after getting drunk and we too went back for a refreshing shower and rest after the play at the scenery river with clean clear water and funghi hunt ( mushroom hunt ) at the Brusco( jungle).

At that beautiful night, Maoro (our fellow musician) performed his passion, the typical Italian acoustic and family music; the night went on with laughter.

Till then, Dolce Far Niente.
