Today, it seems, was the last day of school. Italian kids go to school six days a week. We have the (mis)fortune of living across from a middle school. Even people like me, not in the know, could figure out it was the last day of school 😁
Nancy Goes to Italy
A record of an American's dream to live in Umbria
Wow! I hadn’t realized your move really did take you out of the historical part of the city! You have new roads that don’t exist where we are in the South. Clearly after WWII the North really did get all the money for infrastructure😏🥴Driving down here is an experience in potholes and bumps🤣
You have lovely green and trees to look at. Having lived across the street from a school for many years in the States, I remember how wonderful when school ended and quiet returned.
Ah…. dreaming of it! Three more weeks for us, right through til June 30th! TORTURE!!!! I just want to be in ITALY!!!!! 😉
Frazzled mothers and pickup parking look about the same in IT as in the US 😝. Love the trees in your beautiful view. Umbertide looks amazingly greeeeeen! 💚
Ha . . . Be careful about dodging the water balloons! We’ve been in a couple of places where huge water fights were the custom and there’s always collateral damage. We were eating outside in a restaurant in Spoleto when this was going on and the kids were totally out of control. Waiters wouldn’t say anything, and we were being the polite Americans. Finally an Italian woman stood up and really dressed the kids down to a round of applause by all.
