mozzarella di bufala

Okay well, its been quite a busy couple weeks and I apologize for not blogging lately. This was supposed to make life easier by only writing here and not having to worry about keeping everyone up to date separately, but I find myself still constantly sending out emails to everyone. I’m too loquacious, in case you haven’t noticed.

Anyway, here are some pictures from the buffalo farm. Remember that these aren’t real buffalo, but are a type of cow.



Some of the older buffalo – they’ve already had baby buffalo and thus can produce lots of milk (which makes the yummy cheese).



More of the buffalo – aren’t they cute?



They’re really dirty, but apparently, their stalls are cleaned twice a day. Also, they smell really bad.



A whole line of them eating the hay…and Bea.



Leeann petting one of the buffalo.



They’re so attractive…



This one had weird blue eyes, so I think it is maybe an alien cow.



Another lovely, super attractive cow. These are the adolescent cows, who haven’t had babies yet and therefore can’t produce milk.



Che carina! What a cute little baby cow, I love it! She is maybe 10 days old.



There she is again, she somehow escaped.



These are the baby cows, only a few hours old. They have to live in these little cages.



Piccolo! So cute, so little.



This one really liked us :) She’s really cute.



I tried to get a shot of the cage so you can see where she’s kept.



A baby piglet! Soon to be sausage!



This is hard to see, but these are baby piglets nursing. They’re so adorable!



Sorrento mountains.



More of the landscape.



Also on the farm – donkeys.



And, a couple horses.

Love your captions! Grande umorismo! You and your mom must have enjoyed seeing Rome together. How great it could happen. But I guess traveling weakens her resistance; she's down with a cold now. Keep enjoying Italy (is that like the poet who told the ocean to keep rolling on?) Love.
