This week we all went to Pienza, a near by small town...about 45 minutes from Siena. I really enjoy the bus rides to these towns we get to visit every week...the scenary is breathtaking and almost too much to take in, but the slow bus along the curvy roads helps to see everything. I also like to sit and listen to the various conversations going on in the bus...okay, I like to ease drop on what the students are talking about...it makes me shake my head or laugh or smile.
While walking down the streets of Pienza I could smell the cheese in the shops...wow...very pungent smell...not so pleasant, but just new and interesting. The group split up and Julia and I decided to venture off on our own. We talked a little, but just mainly enjoyed our view and surroundings. Our best discovery of the day was not a little shop, not wine and not an adorable Italian man, but rather 4 cats all lounging together in the sun, next to them a bowl of pasta that someone had left them....if you could have seen this...comedy...well, I guess even the cats in Italy eat pasta!
The group gathered together again to eat cheese and drink wine...divine, divine, divine.

We love and look forward to spending some time with you (on our computer) but really enjoy your stories and everyday adventures. Fat Dink would be in heaven with cheese and pasta, but he will have to be ok with his nacho cheese tortilla chips. Keep on writing and we will keep on reading.
You guys are really good writers! Everytime I read your entries, I laugh out loud and then everyone wants to know why I am laughing! I love you and miss you!
