people to meat, oops - I swear I didn't mean to say that (I believe my cellular structure has prosciutto DNA in it now....). Try again; there are so many incredible people to meet here at Terra Madre, amazing speakers, incredible stories, inspiration around every 
corner, and so many foods to try, get addicted to, and then realize you'll have to pine for because you'll most likely never taste it again - or at least for a very long time! One of my favorite things about Terra Madre is the focus on Taste Education -
there are stations set up all over the place for you to slip in and interact with - how to detect flavor,
how to hear taste (yep, you read that right!), smell and aroma, textures and the story of the need for biodiversity in our world are all prevalent at Terra Madre. Today was also a day of exploration of the Salone del Gusto - the Hall of Taste. Stall after stall of foods from every region of Italy, and an entire pavilion of
endangered foods from around the world showcased as members of a Slow Food Presidium. It is at once overwhelming, delicious
and inspiring. We meet with our entire USA delegation tomorrow, which I am looking forward to - always interesting to see what the national office is thinking about the future of Slow Food USA. I am offto bed for a well-deserved belly-rest, and to muster strength for the feasting and meetings to commence in the morning! More tomorrow! Ciao!
