We have experienced so many wonderful things while living in Italy that it will be hard for us to remember them all. For our daughter Julia, who is not yet three years of age – it will most likely be impossible for her to remember any of them. So I wanted to collect as many stories as possible for her and for us on this page. This place on the blog is the home for posts that don’t really fit anywhere else… a stroll by the lake or a laugh with cousins.
To my daughter Julia and anyone else that wants to share in all our adventures, please enjoy our stories.
