Packing

Oh dear, I kinda bought a lot of stuff!!!

Lorenzo

Lorenzo was busy with his wine this week.   The weather was cold and wet so he had to tend the fire to keep it warm.

He works hard all year with his grape vines.   He couldn't spend much time with us, but the time we spent together was great! 

He is a warm, gentle man that loves his family and made me very welcome.   The language barrier was there but we understood each other.

LLorenzo will be bringing us to the airport at 4am Tuesday morning.  10pm Monday night for you.

I will miss him very much.

More family

Blessings

What a blessing to spend time with family and to see they act just like my family!

To find family so many miles away, there just are no words to describe how I feel.

Cristina

Our cousin Lorenzo is married to Cristina.

She is a teacher, a fabulous cook, a hard worker.

She took the week off from work to spend time with us.

She made us very welcome!  Even though there is a language barrier, I love this lady and feel the family connection with her.

She took us everywhere!  Showed us so many things.

I will miss her very much!!!

Goodbyes are hard

Today is our last day in Italy.

We started goodbyes on Sunday with giulia and elena.

Yesterday we said goodbyes to sara, luca, Guido and loli.
