Back "home"

May 31 - June 2

Yay! We have new tenants for our condo back home. Welcome Ben and Johanna!

We are back in France now, headed "home" to Les Brevieres to make sure everything is in order before heading out again.

Our Italian adventures after Rome took us to Tuscany (mainly Florence) with Berdie and Bronwen, and then to Pisa, which is pretty darn cool. The square with the famous tower is HUGE by Italian standards, and also grassy with sections that you are actually allowed to walk and picnic on. Craig did one of his "toss it in the air" photo projects there which ought to have some nice views of the hoards of people touring the site. From there, we went to Portofino (spectacular) and Genoa. We only spent half a day in Genoa, most of it at an Internet Point, and we feel we really need to go back! We are dubbing Genoa the new "scooter mania", since it seems to have tailed off a bit in Florence.

We hope to stay in Les Brevieres as little as possible and then head north, trying to make it to Stockholm for the solstice! Not to mention, when we got here, it was snowing. Not exactly impetus to stay. But we had a great lunch today with our landlords, Henry et Odile Favre, chez eux. It's very good for our French!

(The photos are from Genoa and Les Brevieres. You can probably figure out which is which.)
