It is official - Giuseppe and I are heading out to Florence on the 13th of February (Valentine's Day a'la Italy!) for 17 days, with a few quick stints in Munich (yay for Bavarian chocolate!).
This is very exciting for us for a number of reasons:
1. This is my first time to Italy.
2. This is Giuseppe's first time home in almost exactly 11 years from moving to the states (March 3 will be 11 years).
3. This will be the first time I get to meet Giuseppe's other family members that don't live in the states.
4. This will be the first time that Giuseppe not only goes home to Italy but more special, and the most special of all the exciting reasons, Giuseppe gets to go home, like his house home in 11 years. The house where he grew up, the town he lived in for almost 21 years, the place where his paintings have been, where his entire family history resides, perfectly in place and preserved since the day they left. The hair on my arms is standing on end...
5. Oh yeah, this is our honeymoon. Not bad, eh?
This will be a very special trip for us...we will be staying in Ponte Vecchio, Florence the entire time, with trips to Calabria, San Marino, Pisa and Sienna, but we are just excited to be together, experiencing such a lovely place, Giuseppe's home, and just traveling together. The weather is to be cool, but hopefully sunny. I hate the rain, so I am hoping for not too much of that, but who cares....really, we'll be Italy!!!!!!! Yipee!
PS. G got new glasses, fancy and fashionable glasses-I'll post pictures on Sunday when they come in! So H-O-T!!!!!
Love d:)
