Italian Vacation

A week after our arrival, we hopped on a short flight to Italy. We enjoyed the warm weather (one last time) and the fabulous cuisine! Eating pasta, amazing salad, gelato and chocolate croissants for 8 days straight was a nice change from the British food that we aren't quite used to yet. However, we were glad to be back in our quaint little town to finish settling in.
