The white stuff has arrived in Italy!!!!!!!

Buon Giorno mi Amici


It has been sometime since I have sat down to write to you all.  Yesterday Florence was paralyzed with a heavy downfall of snow.  Every time I went outside I would laugh...thinking to myself...welcome to Canada!  Had a wonderful dinner at my friend Marco and Maja's house and then the girls hit our favourite bar.  It was empty...normally on a Friday night it is packed.  After several more glasses of wine we decided to call it a night...on the way home Sophia and I participated in a snowball fight at Santa Croce....people were going crazy with the snow.  Many were stranded unable to get home as all buses stopped moving.  It pays to live in the centre with weather like this.


I am now packing up my things and have moved quite a bit of my acquired things out of the apartment.  I have 3 days left and cannot believe my time here is nearing an end.  This morning Firenze is in a deep freeze.  Interesting to watch people manoeuvre about...especially on bicycles!  The city is quiet but the market was buzzing....people securing their goodies for Christmas.  


At this time I would like to wish you and your families a Very Merry Christmas and a Most Magical New Year.  I have enjoyed my time sharing my stories with you all.  I am off to Paris on Wednesday to join my family for Christmas.  I will be back home on the 30th of December so look forward to seeing you in the New Year.  Ciao e tanti baci e abbraccio!
