We are no longer nomads! We have a place to call our own here in Italy. It is so nice to be where we are going to be for the remainder of our stay. We even unpacked all of our suitcases! (I kind of want to pack some of our stuff back up-we have a lot of potential laundry-have I told you how long laundry takes here? haha) Above: sliding doors into Race's room
2 beds in Race's room means there is room for guests! Benvenuti ospiti!! (welcome guests)
Stairwell up to Juliann's 'Shortlandia' The ceiling is the right height for Juliann(and Mati!and friends) :-)
Lots of storage and a bathroom
Nice, spacious desk space for school work-mostly art. There is room for Juliann's sewing machine and maybe a piano keyboard?

Our first meal in the new place. Pasta, of course!
Our new place is in the heart of the city of Naples(email/FB me for the address). The surrounding area houses many high end shops and a few outdoor markets; pretty convenient! We have a porter(in Italian: portiere). His name is Michele. He is very nice. He even smiles when I am trying to speak Italian. Such a patient man. haha
Even though there are some conveniences here, everything is just a little bit more difficult than back home. There is no where for us to park our car at the appartment so we have to park a few blocks away, there is a lot of traffic around so it takes 3-4 times longer to get around, etc. It is, of course, totally different than in Washington but we figured we would probably never get another opportunity to live in the city so we are embracing it!
(for some reason, I can't find the pictures of the front room, kitchen and our bedroom so I will take some more and post them on the next blog post) Until next time..
