Is the mosquitos! I got eaten up which is to be expected out in the countryside, but here in Florence it’s no better! I spent the first ten minutes in our new hotel hunting and killing mosquitos. Blood was spilt as I killed some. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure it was mostly my blood. Anyway, if you ever come to Florence and Tuscany, bring bug repellant.

Arrivederci, Tuscany!
Relaxing in Tuscany
Well, if there’s one thing you can rely on in Europe, it’s spotty wifi. The house we’re staying in here in Tuscany is no exception, but it’s so beautiful and relaxing here it doesn’t really matter. We have been relaxing by the pool and slowly exploring the beautiful hill towns in the region – and drinking lots of wine. Baby M has good nights and bad, but overall despite how tough things are at times, she seems to be enjoying herself and I’m happy to see how stimulated she is by the new environment. She even went swimming for the first time! Anyway, due to the intermittent internet I’ll just post a few pictures.
Pantheon, Pizza, and Pasta
Well, we’re almost done with Rome. I haven’t uploaded all the pictures yet, so I’ll just hit yesterday’s events in today’s post. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of walking!
Italy, Here We Come! (Ready or Not)
Back when I planned the trip a few months ago, going to Italy sounded like a great idea. “Travel before the baby’s mobile!” “She’ll just sleep through the flight!” These are the words that were echoing in my head when I booked the tickets and I thought I felt pretty smart. Well, here we are getting ready to leave this week, and I feel a liiiittle bit nervous about everything.
