A Quickie....

We have just returned from the countryside of eastern Austria--a place named Bildein (population 203) which is a small village just next to the border of Hungary. This is the land of the Iron Curtain and it is so stunningly beautiful and picturesque; so hard to know that so much death and unhappiness occurred there. I have so much to say but for now, so little time. So, this is a quick blog just to say I will be back with more AFTER we return from Rome! (Oops, hopefully because life happens and one should never assume....)

Tomorrow, bright and early we fly back to Milan where we meet up with our friend John who is flying in from Seattle. Once reunited we all catch a flight to Rome for three nights. Much catching up will be required upon our return to Alessandria where I hope to write about Bildein and Rome. Please stay tuned.

In the meantime, a few pictures of friendship and happiness.
