Eden, yes it sure helps me get through the end of the year. 10 more weeks of work and I am counting them down!
Leslie, thanks so much for the very kind comment. I am looking forward to sharing my new adventures. I have never figured out how to post photos from public computers, especially since they need to be reduced so the photos will have to be added when I return.
Angie, I hope to find reasonable rates at internet sites with the euro so high. Bologna will be the easiest as there is a great little computer with free internet access at my hotel and also free internet access and computers at the main library which is huge in Bologna.
Anne, 85 more days (Italy time) til I am back in Italy once again!!

Thank you! I’m so excited but know I’ll be a nervous wreck by the time they play again on Saturday night. They have been playing well but it’s such a crazy game and really, anything can happen. But I think we really have a chance to win it all.
