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.

  • Girl gone wild
    Breakfasted at our hotel then took a nice long walk before the crowds arrived. Scott went into the newer part of town to do some shopping while I scoped out lunch and dinner possibilities. This being the penultimate day of our trip and seeing as how I have been extremely disciplined in my food choices (pre-diabetes-wise) so far, I decided to say ‘f*** it’ and do my version of Girl Gone Wild (sugar-wise). To that end, I had a lovely local rosé with my lunch for the first time and gelato for dessert. This necessitated an afternoon nap. Chilled in our room after napping. For dinner I had my first cocktail in six months, a Negroni. This resulted in me spilling half of it all over the table much to the displeasure our waiters. m not sure how well that “wild thing” is working out for me.
