Move #4?

 

     Well, we are back to hotel/bungalow living.  At least we have a kitchen,washer and dryer in our ‘bungalow’. We are staying at a nice resort-type establishment just a few kilometers outside of Naples. It is called Damiani’s.  There are 3 pools-one that is so warm it’s like a hot tub!, 4 tennis courts (too bad we don’t have our racquets with us-ugh) places to camp, and several out buildings,etc  where guests can congregate and drink caffe. ;-)   Did I mention there are 3 pianos here for Juliann to practice on too?!  I’ve been overjoyed to hear her play again.

      The bungalow has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, dining/living room, and a small kitchen.   Like I mentioned, there is a washer and dryer-they are in the kitchen acting as counters as well.  Dryers are not always available here so it is nice to have one. The thing about this dryer is that it is tremendously loud!  We have to turn it on right before we leave for the day.

     Our current routine: Aaron leaves for work around 7:30 or 8, we all have breakfast and get ready for the day, then we hang out in the main building where the pianos are; we work on school studies and play cards and Juliann practices piano. She is working on a Peanuts Christmas song.  I hope to have a video to post of the completed performance J by Christmas.   Evening is usually when we like to take a dip in the pool-it’s the perfect thing to do to help us relax for the night.

 A kind friend loaned us a Christmas tree :-)

      Damiani’s is close to the grocery store and a few other places to shop but unfortunately, it is very dangerous to walk to anything from here.  I went to the grocery store yesterday and almost got hit by a bus on the way home.  It was unnerving to say the least! Ahhhh!!  I just have to wait to get the car from Aaron and then shop.  However, he has been working such late hours that nothing is open when he gets home.   We have to finish Christmas shopping too so we will be those crazy last minute shoppers this weekend! haha
