Italy

it is official--we are going on one last trip--just the 2 (and a half) of us.

Our tickets are bought.

We have a place to stay (except for the last 2 nights).

And I have the OK to partake of soft cheeses, unpasteurized milk, coffee, and deli meat while there from our midwife. Yippee!!

I am really excited about this trip, but have a strange quietness about the whole thing too, realizing the tragedy that has happened in Haiti. It is reminding me of the many billions of people around the world suffering while I plan a trip to Italy.

It kind of slows me down, makes my heart sad, but also leads me to a place of appreciation and gratefulness. I hope to find some place to rest in the middle of it all.

Here is where we will be staying for the majority of our trip: http://www.ilrifugiodelpoetaravello.com/
