No disposals here...all wet waste has to be collected and thrown away in a specific garbage can. Gross!!
This is what a transformer looks like. We use these for our 110 volt appliances, like our TV.
Standard plug in our house.
All Italians have a fence around their homes with a gate. You ding the bell to be buzzed in.
This is a picture of some of the school buses. 40+ buses take kids to school each day. My kids ride bus #11. The bus driver's name is Fabio and he doesn't speak a lick of English.
No dishwasher here. Italians are known for their handy drying racks. Wash the dishes and then put them in the cupboard to drip dry. The water falls down into the sink.
And you think you need a bigger
washingmachine? This baby does small loads at a time and takes 2 hours to run a regular cycle.
Top of the toilet. Why? Cultural lesson...the small button is for #1, and the bigger button is for #2. Water is a valuable resource here.
Sorry about all of the upside down pictures. This is a
boudae (spelled wrong?....) It is used to wash your bottom after using the toilet. We are yet to use ours.
Wooden shutters on my windows. Great for sleeping and safety.
Autumn at the
Aviano market with Flat Stanley.
The
Aviano bell tower on market day. I love hearing the bells ding every hour. Each little village has its own tower at the center of town.
Seafood anyone?
A view of grapevines against the Dolomite mountains. This is what it looks like where we live.
A typical Italian street. The homes here are made of concrete. Many look quite old from the outside.
