Man, what a day! Ferentino, you wild beast! I woke up thinking it’d be chill, ya know? Just another day in this beautiful little town. But nah, the universe had other plans.
So, I’m strolling down Via Roma, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be great!” But then, BAM! I step in a puddle. Not just any puddle, but the one that’s been there since last week. Ugh! My shoes are soaked. Thanks, Ferentino, real nice start.
I shake it off, though. I mean, it’s Ferentino! The views from the top of the hill are insane. I head up to the Castello di Ferentino. You know, that old castle that looks like it’s straight outta a movie? I’m climbing those steep steps, huffing and puffing, and I finally get to the top. And wow, the view! You can see all the way to the mountains. I’m like, “This is why I live here!”
But then, outta nowhere, this kid runs past me, and I swear he almost knocks me over. I’m like, “Hey, watch it, mini tornado!” He just laughs and keeps running. Kids these days, right?
After that, I decide to grab a coffee at my fave spot, Caffè del Corso. Best cappuccino in town, no contest. I order my usual, and the barista, Marco, gives me that look. You know the one. Like, “You again?” But hey, I’m a regular! I take my coffee and sit outside, soaking in the vibe.
Then, I see this couple arguing across the street on Via della Repubblica. Like, full-on shouting. I’m sipping my coffee, trying not to laugh. They’re waving their hands like they’re in a dramatic play. I’m thinking, “Get a room, or at least a quieter street!”
But then, it gets real. The guy storms off, and the girl starts crying. My heart kinda sinks. I mean, love is wild, right? One minute you’re all lovey-dovey, and the next, you’re crying in the middle of Ferentino. I feel for her, but also, I’m like, “Girl, you’re in a beautiful town! Go enjoy it!”
So, I finish my coffee and decide to wander around. I hit up the Mercato di Ferentino. Fresh fruits, veggies, and all that good stuff. I’m eyeing some tomatoes when this old lady starts chatting me up. She’s telling me about her garden and how her tomatoes are the best in town. I’m like, “Lady, I believe you!” She’s so passionate, it’s adorable.
But then, I see my ex across the market. Great. Just what I needed. I duck behind a stall, trying to avoid the awkwardness. I mean, come on! Can’t a person just enjoy their day without running into past drama?
After that, I’m feeling a bit drained. I decide to head to the Parco della Rimembranza. It’s this lovely park with trees and benches. Perfect for chilling. I plop down on a bench, and just breathe.
But then, guess what? A dog runs up to me, all wagging its tail. I’m like, “Hey, buddy!” I start petting it, and it’s the happiest dog ever. I swear, it’s like this dog knows I needed a pick-me-up.
I’m laughing, and then the owner comes over, all apologetic. “Sorry, he’s a little friendly.” I’m like, “Nah, it’s cool! He’s my therapy dog now!” We chat for a bit, and it turns out he’s from the next town over. Small world, right?
As the sun starts to set, I’m walking back home, feeling all sorts of emotions. Ferentino, you’ve got me feeling everything today! From puddles to castles, coffee to drama, and even a friendly dog.
I get home, kick off my wet shoes, and just laugh. What a day! I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Ferentino, you crazy little town, you never fail to surprise me!
