Italy, From Head to Boot and how two little dogs from Lynchburg, VA, might finally get to meet!

Reed and I have decided to leave Siena at the end of December/beginning of January and move on South to travel! This has been in the works for awhile and we still have a lot of work to do getting everything in order. Siena, we realize, is a hard city to live in. It is beautiful and charming and medieval....


...but not the best place to live here in Italy, especially if two of your goals while being here is to eat good food and to travel! We have decided that we want to spend the month of January in Sicily-basing ourselves most likely in Palermo and then the month of February probably in the Napoli-area definitely making sure to make it out to Puglia (the heel of Italy) for at least one week. Reed wants to see Pompei and I want to get to Alberobello to visit the trulli.

This weekend we are heading up North to Verona, the land of Romeo and Juliet, and Ollie's sister!

Ollie? Mary?



Mary? Ollie?


Ollie is the first picture. He hates trains and is a little freaked out in the picture. But anyone who knows Oliver and looks at the picture of Mary below would realize that they have to be siblings!
