Your Sienna pictures surely show how ancient the buildings are; I loved the one with you overlooking the roof tops and was able to save it to my collection. I also liked seeing you with friends... Please take some pictures of the Villa so I can see where you are living. I've been taking a daily trip to Italy...and so much more... Love you, Nan

Hi Danielle, Finally foundout how to get into this. Using two different computers gets kind of messy sometimes. I don't have everything on the lap top. Glad your trip was fine and am sorry we didn't get to see you before you left. Will be spending your mothers birthday with her so will get some updating from her. I haven't got into all the different places yet. We love you and miss you. It will be hard waiting for the next three months to pass. Grandpa sends his best too.

Hi Love,

Your site is unbelievable so far! I'm anxious to pursue further some things you mentioned and pictured... Loved the bronze pig story and photo...saw that you had the blue sweater jacket on. It is so amazing that you have this site; it's not difficult to live vicariously through you here!!! I know you are a sponge, soaking it all up; I can't think of a more appropriate person to be having this experience. Love you so much, Nanny and Poppy

I'm in tears! Your photos are breathtaking and I love the story you attached to you with the bronze pig. I suppose that's in honor mosd?? Bill the pig? I love you. We'll check the site again soon. Looking forward to your phone call this afternoon.

I'm very jelous of all the italian food you're going to eat.

Chao! Benvenuto a Italia! miss you already... here's a to do list before i see you next: -eat lots of pasta -find the best brick oven pizza in florence -find the best gelato shop -ask around for a good place to run for me -have gondola loads of fun!

Happy Holiday! I'm glad you made to to the city safely. Give my best to all. Keep in touch!

I like your updates! I'm excited to look at this during your trip!!!

I tried the Snipe tonight. Hoped you'd be connected. Spoke a bit with Rebecca. Hannah called and had questions about the gift x-change. If you haven't connected her with this site yet, you should consider sending her the info. Sounds like she and Dan will be asking off for this trip in Spring. Glad the visa is taken care of and only the details remain. Have a great week. Love ya!

What is the exact name of the city you are in outside of Florence?

Thanks for the info about how to telephone you in Italy. I haven't downloaded the site yet, but I plan to. You must be unbelievably excited as well as busy getting "stuff" ready for your Italian adventure. We WILL see you before you leave!! Love you lots, Nanny (and Poppy)

This is a great idea...I miss you all ready, too!
