This was a fairly uneventful week for the Bedell family. We went through our normal routine of work, school, and the usual chores. The weather has really warmed up, and we've started spending much more time outside. 
This weekend, we decided to get out of town, and took the relatively short drive into the middle of Piemonte, to visit the city of Asti. The popular time to visit this town is September, for the big wine festival and Palio. Still, the area is quite nice (plus, not crowded in March) and the food is fantastic. Also, the beautiful weather meant that we could spend a lot of time outside and enjoy seeing the town. We meandered through one of the larger markets that we've seen in Italy. We also saw the towns Medieval and ancient sights and had a phenomenally good meal of typical piemontese cuisine and wine. Also worth noting, the people that we met in Asti were some of the most outgoing and helpful that we've met anywhere in Italy. Both Thomas and Sammy seemed to have a great time getting outside into the sun and exploring a new town.
