my first post from Italy ....we still don,t have a secure connection here. Claudia s nephew and his 80 year old grandmother are visiting from Bergamo. Thank goodness for 20 year olds! Fillipo figured out how to get his MAC connected through his cell phone which will only work in the upstairs window sill, the phone delicately sitting atop a small round metal can in a just so position!
Last night was the first night of regular sleep, so I am feeling over jet lag. We have had a lot of fun driving all over the mountain roads, seeing the Tibet of Italy in the Appenines, walked around at least 10 different ancient little towns with 1,000 year old buildings and I have taken lots of pictures, but cannot post from this computer.
Culture shock is in full effect right now. I need to learn more Italian, David is a very patient teacher with expertise, he is a good teacher and I am getting plenty of listening to Italian, trying to adjust my ear.
More later, buon notte, G
