I’ve been running, but still no internet
Still having to use the internet at work, next week it looks like the planets will align on that one. They did this week. So I ran Friday, and did an out-and-back this morning. My running friends were not there, or maybe I was late, I’m not sure. But that’s ok, I’ll meet up with them on Tuesday I suppose.
Today I head into Napoli, there’s a vegan shop called ToBio, and I’m going to try and find it and get some Vital Wheat Gluten, Textured Vegetable Protein and Nutritional Yeast. My other quest today is to find avocados and sweet potatoes. Looking yesterday, people had no idea what a sweet potato was, but I’m sure if I can find it anywhere down here, it’ll be in Napoli. There is a US military base there. So I should be able to find more products that come from the Americas.
Last night, I found a very nice market behind the school branch in San Giuseppe, they had Marsala, and some other products I could not find in the store in Somma Vesuviana. There was spinach too! Need to find good spices. Need chili powder, dill, onion powder and some other stuff. I’ve seen hot sauce in stores, so at least that’s easy to come by. One thing I have noticed missing, and I’m glad for is cilantro. Folks, cilantro tastes like soapy water, dirty, soapy water. Apparently, it’s a genetic thing and it’s relatively rare. But I can’t stand it.
So come Monday, I hope to have some nice pictures of Napoli for you. And maybe some from around Somma. It’s still colder than normal around here, but at least I’m not dealing with a giant snowstorm, sorry folks back int he Northeast! Hope you all have your YakTrax and cold weather gear at the ready! Either way we should both be having an adventure!
Have fun, keep running and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!
