So once again I've let months pass before writing an entry. So sorry!
Will and I moved back to the states in early May, after two years in Italy. It was an amazing experience, as you can probably tell if you've been reading this blog. We're not sorry to be home though. If you've been following the trash crisis in Naples, you'll understand. I could not imagine another summer in Naples, having to perpetually live indoors to avoid the smell of burning dioxins or rotting trash. I feel sorry for the law-abiding people in Naples who have to live in horrible conditions (think rotting trash piles the size of a cape-style home) because of rampant corruption among their elected officials, and mafia members who believe dumping toxic trash in people's backyards is perfectly moral. Here I am on my soapbox, as usual.

However, because I'm a slacker, I never posted photos of our trip to Amsterdam, to Ireland, or our last trip to Tuscany/Umbria. I'll do that tomorrow, I promise! We even took a lovely trip to Colorado to visit family, and I'll try to post those photos too.
I'm thinking of keeping this blog going. We'll see...
