Hi again from up at 1000 metres up the mountains of Italy. This is where most of my Italian family live. If you have been to Switzerland you will be able to imagine what it looks like, an alpine resort with flower boxes in the windows, gorgeous homes with wooden shutters.....so picturesque. Seeing family again after 20 years has been amazing...very emotional but good fun. Lots of laughs, good wine and food!
The Italians sure know how to entertain! Being fed constantly! Mike and kids struggling as no English spoken by my mountaineer cousins! Hence I am speaking and translating, a job as I am sure you can imagine I am very good at! The jaw is going at 100 million miles an hour. So much to catch up on!!
We Went to Gardaland with the kids yesterday. A theme park here with lots of roller coasters, rides, entertainment etc.... Catie (and Mike) are the dare devils and went on everything even the blue tornado roller coaster,which is the scariest of all the rides!
Zane (and I) were a little apprehensive to say the least,not sure what he expected but like his mother a little nervous about most daredevil rides. We went on most to show we could also participate, but with our eyes closed tho!!
We have also been to Verona to Juliet's house (as in Romeo and Juliet) and wrote on her wall. Have visited a number of medieval villages and had lunch with cousins at the castle restaurant! On Saturday we are off to Lake Garda and Como. I hope George (as in George Clooney)is ready and waiting for me and not been held up by filming! He has a holiday home in Como so I will be keeping my eye out!! I will post some more photos soon.
Ciao e Baci from La Bella Italia!
