It was another late night last night. Italians do not even gather for dinner until 8 and then serve sometime much later. Everything is in courses so it takes longer. Great conversation last night. We are with a family in Sondrio. He is in insurance and owns most of a building. His office is on the first floor as well as her headhunting business. They have a very large flat on the second floor and there is a small apartment on the third floor. Trish, Chris, and I are on the third floor. Rebecca and Michelle are with a couple across the town. Sondrio has 20,000 people so it is very charming.
Sunday we went to the Palio which was the medieval horse race and parade. After we went to Gian Luca's house for pizza and dancing. They have a discotheque in their basement (teenagers). Monday we were in the van for 12 hours seeing Lake Maggiore, a cake products company, a two hour lunch, and then a lake in Switzerland. We eneded the evening at a Chinese-Italian restaurant. Got back to Paula's at 11:30 and was on the road Tuesday morning at 8:30. We went to an abbey that makes liquor and then had lunch with an older Rotarian in his villa. When we arrived here, we went walking in the older section of town and had the barbecue with the Rotarians.
Tomorrow we move to a hotel in the alps for one night. It will be much colder and we may see snow. I will have many pictures to share with everyone when I return. Arrivederci!
