It's been a long time since I've been able to sit and add to the blog. In that time, we have been running all around Italy, and then to Nice, France and back. Lots of people have come to visit - as of this day, a total of 20 people have crossed the threshold of my little yellow house. We have seen some great sights, and shared some stories, shared some meals, laughed and sometimes cried. It has been an amazing summer.
While in Nice, I grew tired of the sun and went up on the promenade to watch people walk by. Here are some of my favorite pictures:
More interesting people:
There have been so many interesting things to do in this tiny village, and so many shared experiences. There was the most touching funeral, which began in the center of town at the old church, wound down through the village and out to the cemetery. The entire town walked behind the casket and the priest, praying the rosary. It was so moving.
There was also a wedding, celebrating a new beginning simultaneously as another life ended. Alyssa and Eric photographed the wedding - the entire town was invited.
I am challenged by the slow internet at the moment, I will try to load a few more pictures before I leave Bar Roma to start dinner - chicken and vegetables, polenta, baked zucchini, salad and bread. A nice, simple Italian meal.
We had dinner and stayed in Sanremo (on the border between Italy and France. It was magical, and we were treated like family by the restaurant owners.
My village, with weather brewing.
My little friend Virginia. Her brother, Jacapo has been really kind to me here. He is also 27....
Lastly, a trip to the river on a hot day, where I used a rock to write on some other rocks. I think I will use Vistaprint and turn them into postcards. That's it for now!
I hope you're having a wonderful day and that you are taking note of the beautiful things all around you. CIAO!
