I made it!!!! Finally here in Italy and I couldn't be happier. For those of you who have been wanting to see pictures here is a quick shot that was taken right by our house.
We live about 15 minutes from base and the entire drive is filled with vineyards and cobblestone streets. I don't think it could be more beautiful here. We are so excited to go exploring in the mountains and find the hidden lakes that we have heard about, although the great lakes can never be replaced. ;o)
