My parents just left after a whirlwind 3 week visit. We had an amazing time with them. Last year, we mainly just stayed home and stared at our new baby, but this year we were on the go almost the whole 3 weeks! Here's what we did the first few days.
The first full day they were here, we went down to Paestum and took a tour of a buffalo mozzarella farm/factory on the way. As you can see, Owen was super excited about the tour.
These are probably the happiest buffalo that you'll ever meet. They eat only organic food, listen to relaxing music in the morning, then get massages (as in this picture), then can go to the milking machine and eat. Our tour guide said that happier buffalo make better milk/cheese, so they treat them well. I'm not sure if this is right, but the cheese was good!
JJ telling grandpa all about the buffalo.
Here is the beautiful leather factory at the farm. This is where the 3-month-old boy buffalo go and get turned into beautiful purses and belts!
We did allow a little relaxing and reading : )
Then we headed downtown on the second day.
Next up, our trip to Tuscany!
Yep - We did have a great time!!! I am still wondering what Grandpa Tal would say about the special treatment for the water buffalo!!!!

I don't know if Wagyu beef get the same treatment; but the Japanese do some pretty amazing pampering for their really expensive beef, also. I thought the big massage rollers were wonderful -- I want one! It looks like all were having a good time in the Italian sunny weather. And, I'm really glad to see new pictures! Was feeling a bit neglected!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more. Love, FA
Amazing photos! Looks like you guys had a great visit. Sometimes I still can't believe you live in Italy and all of this is basically in your backyard! Look forward to seeing photos of Tuscany!
