Hi! This is just a quick check in from the road. We spent the week on the move. We started in New Orleans, then we drove up through the Mississippi Delta on the Blues Highway. We stopped at lots of smaller places along the way to visit museums and check out the history of the blues and our country. Then we cut across to Alabama to visit Muscle Shoals to tour the recording studio and to see the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. Then from there it was north to Nashville, Tennessee. We are here to visit a friend (Adam Overacker) and to enjoy some more music. See you next week from an old classic, Marietta, Ohio. Hopefully I’ll have time this next week to fill in the details from a very eventful road trip! Enjoy your week!

A Trip “Home”

A Trip “Home”

We went to Switzerland to visit the Swiss side of the family, Nathan’s sister’s family, and our nephew. We had a great time with the fam, ate lots of good food, experienced crazy spring weather, and did some hiking.

A Little Q&A

We are in Switzerland this weekend visiting with family, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to answer some questions! How is the food in Italy? We are happy for the change in cuisine...yummy olive oil! The food here is just like anywhere else...some is...

There and Back Again

There and Back Again

We are back in Torino for a few days, so I have a chance to update you on our road trip last week. Short version: We visited Genova (Genoa) in Liguria, Lucca and Siena in Tuscany, then Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio on our way to Rome. We were in Rome for three days, then it was on to Assisi, Ravenna, Parma, and Cremona before returning to Torino. We had a blast, but we were very ready to return “home”, do some laundry, and regroup.
