Viareggio
Hello. Salve. What up. Hey. Ciao.
Sometimes we forget which one to use, but we're adjusting well after our time in Knoxville. It was a really sweet time at home with family remembering Jessica's Papaw. Since then, we have been saddened to learn that two of our friends from Central UMC have also passed away, Nancy Connelly and Virgie Peake. Our hearts are with their families as well as continuing to be with Jessica's.
As for us, we arrived in Rome on the 29th and left for Viareggio the following day. Our room is h i l a r i o u s - also clean and unique. The ceiling is on average 4 1/2 feet high, but the bath is HUGE, the bed is comfortable, and we have two skylights where I can stick my head out and stand up straight... pictures to follow.
Viareggio is a beach town in Tuscany. We are VERY happy here and are glad that we have till Sunday. The seafood is everything we expected - fresh. Last night we took a stroll down and around the marina. The weather was slightly cool, maybe 60 degrees, with the waves crashing against the rocks. Sweet. Romantic... still full off of seafood and pasta, we headed toward the brighter lights and found a theatre playing a late showing of Wolverine Origins.... I was reluctant, but Jess was dying to go.... Needless to say we bought 2 tickets and loved every minute of it. People clapped at the end. Funny really... It couldn't have been a better movie for us to see in Italian, because it was easy to follow.
Today, we woke up late and have been spending time getting adjusted. Jet lag can be nasty.
Some other updates: Jessica solved the Rubik's Cube. (picture below). Brian played with a cross eyed cat (picture below). Sunday we head out to our next farm in Piacenza (south of Milan) http://www.casarossapiacenza.it/
We put up a new album from our easter and "little easter" picnic on Picasa. We will wait and create an album for Viareggio, because we haven't taken many pictures yet.

In the meantime, the sun has set and someone in a distance is playing a harmonica. It's time to get off the computer and enjoy this beautiful town.
Love you all
Jess and Brian
