Ok, because you (all of you basically) told me that blogging was not an option, but required, here I go. I just want to go on record that I am not one of those people. I am not a blogger, so if you know what a blogger is I am not that person. If you don't, don't worry about it.

Here is the update for today. June 26, 2009
I did not get lost! That is an amazing feat for me, let me tell you! I wandered around and braved a resturaunt. I know that this must sound silly but the resturaunts scare me. You have to know how to speak because they ask you questions. So, I braved an outside cafe. It was very good. I also walked by a couple of supermarkets and was shocked to see lingerie for sale. Yes, the grocery stores sell about every kind of cheese made by humans, fruit, meat, and underwear. Not just any underwear by the way, but I'll leave that to you. What else-? We took the kids to the park today and they taught me some Italian. I can actually speak Italian phrases now instead of just thinking I can. I can say: stop, go, come back, come here, forward, backward, I do not speak Italian, I do not understand, and swingset. I know that last one is random but you have to start somewhere. No pictures today. We leave for Elba tomorrow morning so I may not be online for a while. I'll talk to you later. Thanks for the emails and chatting!

Talk to you later

Hey everyone, Let’s see....I went waterskiing this week. Thanks to grandpa for teaching me how to slalom. It is more difficult in the ocean than the nice flat lake and I had to drop a ski because the boat wasn’t powerful enough to haul my big butt out of the water on one ski. Nevertheless, I had a fun time and made it before I did a spectacular flip/ nose-dive. I forgot how sore it makes you the next day and I couldn’t make a fist because I used all of those wrist muscles to pull myself out of the water. It was so much fun. Yesterday some friends of the family from NY came. We spent the day on the boat I got to spend some time talking with people who spoke English. The family was so nice I we had a lot of fun swimming and bouncing on the waves. They pointed out something that I never noticed about Elba. There are no clouds here. It never rains because it is the summer time (that isn’t weird) but I realized that it is kind of a strange thing that I could never quite pu...

Leaving Milan-Sept 10, 2009

Ciao! Last night we spent the night at Aviano airbase in Aviano, Italy. On the way there we were welcomed, several times, by the city of Porcia. For those of you who have never had the privilege of visiting Porcia, let me outline the town for you. When you get off the autostrada (highway) there are a lot of crops growing in fields. The Gossip Bar is lit up in neon lights and seemed to be a popular place. If you pass some houses you will come to a little town of about one streetlight. There is what looks like a tractor dealership and a restaurant. End of Porcia. We were honored to drive through the town on several occasions, entering from many different angles, as we followed the Italian directions to the airbase procured from an array of people whom we stopped to ask directions. Well, we finally made it to the airbase and the view was beautiful! It is nice and flat and then randomly there were just these mountains that appeared against one side of the base. I love how the mountains jus...
