So...I'm starting my blog again! My adventures in Italy.

We arrived in Italy on May 5th, what a wonderful time we're having. I really love it here. Dennis and I decided to live on the Support site in Gricignano which is about 15 minutes away from Naples. Lots of things to do for families and kids here so we're happy with our decision.

We've had a few adventures so far and are adjusting well. I have a few theories about driving in italy. Although it is notorious for their driving skills, I love it! I say that if we all drived like Italians, passing whenever and wherever no matter the oncoming cars, beeping to alert you that they are planning on not letting you through, flashing their lights to let you know that you're not going fast enough! The driving has been an adventure in itself!

Our first trip was to Capri. What a beautiful Island in Naples, with water so beautiful and blue. Our friend Brian went with us. Brian and I visited the blue Grotto which is a cave on the island. You have to take a smaller motor boat to the cave. At the cave's entrance you get into a row boat from the motor boat. In the entrance of the cave you have to lie flat down to get into it and WOW...well worth it! The water was the most beautiful blue, with a small ray of sun shining in. It was a gift from God and I knew it. The island itself had beautiful homes and gardens and quaint shops that I bought a heart necklace from. I'd love to post pictures here, but left my camera in a cab and upon flagging him down it was gone. Another italian lesson learned!

Our next grand adventure was to Bari Safari. What an amazing time we had. This is a drive through zoo. We took vegetables and fruit cut up for the animals in case we could feed them. Upon our arrival we were greeted by all kinds of deer. We saw tigers and lions and bears oh my! The kids were so excited to be able to feed camels, zebras, giraffes, and buffalo! What a great family outing.

That's it in a nutshell for today..more tomorrow!
