Farns Niente

Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

  • A day relaxing in Italian paradise
    We felt the need for a lazy day – a little ‘dolce far niente’. Having thoroughly enjoyed our home-cooked meal last night, we decided to make both lunch and dinner at our hotel.  Drove to the weekly outdoor market in nearby Alba in search of ingredients but eventually got impatient with the inefficiency of the vendors and ended up at a local grocery store. Back at our lodging we made lunch and hung out all afternoon in the shade to blog and catch up on emails.
