Although I prefer a zen-like lifestyle and would be more comfortable living in a time centuries past, I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the current century of blogging. It will make my life easier, I am told.
At any rate it will assist my keeping in contact with everyone when I leave for Florence on Wednesday, April 30. I have already rented an apartment just off the Piazza della Signoria at Via Vacchereccia 7-red, 50122, Florence, Italy. I am ordering an Italian "chip" for a yet to be purchased cell phone (Larry finally buys a cell...that's headline news in itself!) When I get the number I will post it. Well, I have muddled through getting this started and I'll be checking to see if this blog system will be acceptable to everyone. Ciao.
