The first time I was in Milan, in 1989, I hated it. I was there because a friend I was traveling with had her passport stolen while sleeping on the train to Venice. So we had to get off in Verona and go back to Milan. We wandered around looking for a […]
Bella and I will be in Europe from 29 July - 18 Aug, with most of the time spent in Pieve di Cerreto. I think this trip I’ll get Bella enrolled in the same language course David and I took in Lucca. They have a class starting 4 Aug. We could take it for one […]

Finally got a photo of a sunflower […]
What do we call this game in the US?
Apparently, there will be lots of activity on the street tonight.
Signs along the road say that our street will be closed from 00:30 to 09:00 on Sunday, but since yesterday there have been check points set up and people practicing driving fast on this rather narrow winding road. Eeks. Staying home for dinner.

Modena was a lovely little town with gorgeous buildings that reminded me of Madrid, but placed much closer together, making their height seem all the more imposing. The cathedral was incredible and we managed to get in our first visit to a museum (though I’m dying to visit the “Museo di Castagna” - “Chestnut Museum” […]
