Etruscan City, Mum, Dad and Gran locked out and Long Italian Lunch!!!!

Four days ago we went to the underground city of Chiusi.  There was this big water collector.  The water would trickle through the rocks and sand and then run down a tunnel into a big water storage.  As the water goes through the different layers of rock and sand it gets filtered.  Another tunnel led to some urns (a tomb that has the ashes of dead bodies in it). It was awesome.  These urns are Estrucan from 200BC (2200 years ago) Each urn has an Estrucan name on it and interestingly the Estruscans wrote from right to left.


This urn has Roman and Etruscan writing.
The next day we were having lunch and Bailey locked the parents and Gran out on the terrace outside.  The door broke and mum and dad were screaming and we were pushing the door.  To stop Eliza screaming we shoved pasta in her mouth.  I went down to the bar and said "Il porto non functzione. Mamma e Pappa non andiamo." (The door is not working. Mum and dad can not get out). Three people followed me up 2 flights of stairs and helped us open the door!!!!















For lunch the next day, Regula and Pasquale and gran came over. For first course we had pizza, for second pici pasta, third mozzarella (a cheese made of buffalo's milk) and dolce Tiramisu, a coffee cream dessert.
BUONISSIMO!!!!!!
