Pictures from the Gargano Peninsula







Gargano is where the spur of the boot is. Most of it is a national park. It's just gorgeous. This time, I'll just add some pictures, but will try to get back to some stories later. Oh, but we did all go swimming in the Adriatic Sea for the first time! Burrrrr - fredo (cold)! It was refreshing though for a nice, sunny day. By the way, the Italians here think we are nuts because the weather is nice and we are walking around with our short-sleeved polo shirts on. They, on the other hand, happen to be cold most of the time, and are wearing pants, long-sleeved shirts, and sometimes sweaters. Our host families keep asking us if we want jackets when we are going out:)

Matt:

I am so happy to see/hear you are having such a wonderful experience!

The girls are going great, but of course, miss their Daddy a TON! We have been playing outside quite a bit since the weather here in CT has been really beautiful!

The Hartford Courant published an article this past week about Singin' in the Rain at the Goodspeed and Tess will not let the article out of her sight. She brought it to Karen's house to show Karen and all of her friends at school. When we got there, she even showed Roxy and Jersey the newspaper! We have watched the movie 2 times since then (with popcorn of course) and all I hear is how you and I need to bring her to the show when you come home, and how Mema will need to watch Melissa!
On Sunday, we went to the new Stew Leonards grocercy store and the girls had a Blast! We shopped, saw cows and chickens and finished off grocery shopping with ice cream. Melissa particularly LOVED the chicken!

Things at work are, of course, totally crazy! Nothing really new there!

Tess, Melissa & I all love you very much!
