Vitto was not prepared for lunch or the visitors, so we just hung out for an hour and a half while Vitto cooked. We talked about the Sound of Music and Roger Federer. Thom’s partner loves Rodger in a way I did not know possible, but she is Swiss and I thought it was rather sincere. Andy was pretty “meh” on sports, but she was super into the environment and climate. However, she wanted to study plate tectonics because she was obsessed with volcanoes, the world’s largest carbon emitters (but it is natural I suppose, also probably need a fact check on that one).

Vitto made an awesome lunch. There was cus-cus, onion soup, wine, panne, pasta, and some salad. Additionally, cauliflower - which was a treat. Andy took my Whatsapp and said I should come trek in Swiss/Norway one day. Maybe I will take her up.

They also gifted me a porcupine spike they found. During our Easter lunch, I had commented on the wild porcupines and said they were strangely exotic to me. I decided it would be a great souvenir and a treasure forever.

After lunch, some guy named Roberto (not the lawyer) stopped by to tour the valley or soemthing. He seemed put together, clean, not-rough, and not the typical “of the land” type we had been hanging out with. He came specficially to go pick wild asparagus. They went while I worked on the pin.
