“You’ve always said you wanted to spend a year living in Italy,” he said. And then, with his very next sentence, he changed both our lives forever.

“Let’s do it.”

    Dear Manya,
    With the holiday hectic, this is the first chance since our “Bon Voyage” party at the Potneks I’ve had to “catch up” with the Romans. I read and thoroughly enjoyed–all in one sitting–your blog (lingering just a bit and reading twice the “Per le Donne” entry so as to better take-in the lessons you teach :) What fun…

    We spent the morning in church where our mutual good friend and neighbor, Kristin Cox, narrated a Christmas singing service ‘Cantata’ (Italian etymology, I’m guessing). It was goose-bump beautiful and Kristin was awesome!

    Thank you for sharing your incredible journey!

    • Thank you Susi! I’m happy you like the blog. We miss everyone, but are having fun…we start Italian lessons tomorrow, so I’m sure I’ll be blogging about that soon! Happy new year.
