A quick visit to Brindisi - Un veloce giro per Brindisi 14 Feb 2013 | 09:08 pm

Someone's having fun! - C''e` qualcuno che si diverte! 7 Feb 2013 | 04:12 pm
We spent the last few days planting fruit trees, repairing a 21 ft segment of collapsed dry wall (with expert help) and pulling previously cut ivy off of a large olive tree. I let the dogs run loose a...
