A Great Saturday!

We got up this morning and walked to the local bakery, then ate our yummies on a park bench near the center of town.  The sun was warm and we could see the mountains clearly while we ate.  It was a little surreal when a nun walked by us and smiled a "buon giorno" to us!

We then went to the Saturday market in the next town over.  They had fresh fruit, fish, meat, and even clothes for sale!  The kids got a free smiley-face-tater-tot on a stick, and then we got some gelato as a treat later in the morning.  Shannon and I got a rotisserie chicken to take home for lunch (more yum). 

When we got home, we got a package!  It was our mail saved up from the last few weeks.  Shannon got some US Weeklies, so she'll be content for a while. 

After nap, we went with some new friends to the US Army Base nearby for a Mom's Club bowling outing (videos forthcoming).  The kids had a blast, and so did we. 

What a wonderful day!

  1. Next time you are at the Army base, check for a woman named Maddelena Camilleri. She is one of Brames wive's best friends from Chicago. She teaches like 3rd graders over there on the army base.

  2. Maybe she can hook us up with some American groceries. Are you SURE she's American, with a name like that??
