...This is just a quickie and would probably not classify as a reason to blog, but I couldn't keep it to ourselves...
We've piled the garbage in our beautiful Sorrentine kitchen and wondered where Rosa would want us to put it. We tried asking in Italian...but this was one time Marcello would not have been proud of us. Ian ran inside and brought out the garbage bag to which Rosa responded something, something, something, something else inizio della strada. Clearly she meant we should put it somewhere in the street. Every other city has had very accessible street dumpsters, so we must have just missed this one. It's 8 o'clock in Sorrento and we decide to walk into town. The walk there is a little spooky because it's so dark but we have our 1985 Polaroid flashlight which we bought at a Kodak shop and seems to be the last one left in this town. Surely, the dumpster is just outside the home. Surely, it's up that other street we never walked up. Surely, it's just around the bend where we never paid attention to it. Finally, we found the dumpster...at the beginning of the street just like Rosa had mentioned. The main street into town!!! It may not seem like reason to blog, but it's a small example of the daily things that are still all so new!

Okay - there is a bit of a discrepancy with this blog entry and the next one. If Ian were indeed 'igualito a su Papa', he would have totally brought with him at least 4 Maglite flashlights (and a few extra nightlights for the villa.) :-)
Love the pics. I'd love to see what it looks like inside your 'homes.'
Baci e abbracci
ok, you're going to laugh when i tell you that right now Ian has not one but TWO flashlights in his backpack. He just added a nicer one today!
