Davide and Valentina!

Dear friends,

We had a few busy days of traveling here due to visits.
Davide was supposed to fly in with Alex and Jessica from Amsterdam leaving Friday afternoon 2 pm for Verona. At 3 am we get a phone call from Austin Texas that father and sister had to have an emergency landing there instead of in Houston due to dangerous weather conditions. They ended up missing their flight to Amsterdam and Davide his travel pals. I ended up having to arrange a last minute KLM booking for a UM (Unaccompained Minor) flight a few hours later...to Milano.

That saved the plans of having Davide here (and he had to leave already yesterday to go back to school) but transformed it into a 9 hour drive (back and forth) to Malpensa and Saturday into picking up Alex & Jessica in Verona.

We still managed to spend quality time together. Everybody was in awe for Valentina, of course; Davide practicing holding her and cuddling his little sister. He was really curious and caretaking her! Of course Davide LOVED going to the Thermae outdoor swimming pool with me and Jessica (see photo album).
Sunday night nonno and nonna joined us at Miramonti for dinner together.

The weather has been pretty wet and chilly lately but that leaves the air crisp and clear for us to enjoy.

We'll keep reporting on Grandpa and Auntie Jessica's stay here 'till next Sunday.

My Best,
Lorenzo
