Alive and Well and Living in Italy!

   

Fast Forward 5 years and we have planted ourselves in Italy! Call it a crazy mid-life crisis decision, but we did it, dog and all.

We shipped all our belongings to France in part to begin the next stage of our life. The dog was transported on Lufthansa Airlines and had quite a trip. When he arrived around 11 pm to our house in France, he appeared dazed and confused. However, when he saw us, I am sure he said, "You bastards, why did you do that to me?!"

We took a 5-day trip to drive from France to Italy enjoying the sites along the way.  It was a beautiful drive, but I don't want to do it again anytime soon. Everything was good until we got to Torino and the aggressive drivers started coming out. It rattled my nerves for days.

We even stopped in Barolo Country and made an impromptu stop to spread some of my Dad's ashes among the Italian Vineyards. I know he would have wholeheartedly approved.

We settled in our Air BnB in Bergamo and began our Italian Adventure.

To be continued......
