This weekend we traveled out of the city to visit the Parco
Geominerario Storico Ambientale Della Sardegna and to stay at Sa Perda Marcada
near the west coast of Sardinia. We put on our third set of hardhats for the
trip to travel through a transport system for materials being mined. We saw
along our way land that was purely mining waste, churches built solely for the
sake of miners, and gorgeous views along the water.
When we arrived at Sa Perda Marcada, we immediately ventured
around the farmland to find all the animals. We found horses, cats, dogs,
chickens, geese, and a giant turkey. The farm was beautiful and very relaxing.
It was nice to stay somewhere in the country. We enjoyed yet another multi-course dinner, following a multi-course lunch, leaving everyone drowsy and full
in the evening. While I've loved the food I've eaten, I’m still adjusting to how
to manage the continuous flow of food. It was great eating fresh vegetables,
eggs, and cheese from the farm. In the morning we enjoyed a more American style
breakfast (there were delicious eggs and yogurt) and then learned to make
Malloreddus and Seadas, a small rolled pasta and a fried cheese and lemon
filled pastry. Both were delicious at lunch, we did well! Following lunch we
headed to the beach to enjoy the sand dunes, sun, and the strongest waves I've
ever seen. It was the best weekend I've had in some time.
