This year's major adventure will be a month in Italy! Jake has been there on business before, but has only seen a couple cities up north. In preparation for this trip we enrolled in Conversational Italian at Chesapeake Community College. This class has covered more grammar than conversation, but at least the teacher is a chef who has worked in Italy and is rapturous every time he describes foods. We did watch a great Italian movie in class last week, "Johnny Stechinno" (Johnny Toothpick). I'm learning more convesation by listening to Pimsleur's Italian CD's. So far I can say I would like to eat or drink somthing and at what time I would like to go shopping. Also, "where is the museum?".
So far our itinerary will be one day in Rome, train to Venice, 3 days in Venice, train to Florence, rent a car to get to our apartment in Castellina di Chianti for 12 days. After that, who knows! Next post will be after we arrive, September 14.
