ciao

After months of goading, today I am beginning my own blog diary for my daughters' entertainment. I decided that it may be as close as I get to writing until I quit teaching four years from now, when I hope to indulge a lifelong desire to actually live and work in a foreign country that may feel more like home than the states have ever felt to me.

That country, I hope, will be Italy. Hence the title of my blog. I fell in love with Italy four years ago during a visit with my oldest daughter who was living there at the time. The hills, the people, the food. Truly the good life.

For now, I will have to sustain myself with the pictures, my language discs, an Italian cookbook and a good bottle of chianti classico.

Arrivederci.
