THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN!

SEVEN WEEKS AND COUNTING!  Who has tips for Volterra?  How far in advance should we book for our Modena lunch?  Oh, and will there be any festas in San Venanzo so we can watch our Italian friends line dance to the accordion of our friend Erika, and just for a little while imagine these people are still our neighbors?    BUT - I'm so excited for all the wonderful things we've planned to do, as well as all the wonderful, crazy unexpected things that just happen, the things you could imagine even if you tried - travel is truly magical!  Oh, and finally........Slovenia!  It's gonna be a good good time!
