Forte Prenestino

Phil - with a few of the tunnels in the background -

This is the entrance to the fort, complete with moat and bridge-




In the video we see max, the sleeping south americans, the dog who has adopted us named darcy, and one of the open common areas with the mechanic shop in it - it may be alittle shocking because of all the art on the walls but everyone we have met has been very generous, interested about where we come from and kind hearted - Phil has been our foot in the door but working with them today has earned us a bit of respect -



The Italian language is fast and beautiful and it is funny to hear Phil tell stories, that we know in English, in Italian to other people and you can pick out enough words to know which part he is telling - everyone is always kissing cheeks and saying chow, chow - it is very welcoming - Tonight we will eat with everyone and talk to more people with phil translating when their english runs out - there is a shop nearby that sell fresh fruit and bread - we will go their to get food for breakfast and lunch because we will mostly try to get out early because the heat becomes unbareble in the sun around noon - we will snap a few photos with the big sights and then head back because the tourist traps are alot more like real traps late at night -
