Here is our little Anna tucking into a huge plate of roast pork and french fries! My dad, who was sitting next to her, could not believe his eyes when Anna finished her plate and ordered dessert!
Following up on the previous post, Jack has noticed how much more pleasant it is to enjoy his morning cappuccino and have a nice meal out for this is his first visit to Italy since the smoking ban went into effect. Though like most cities that have banned smoking, you trip over many people smoking outdoors, but at least you don't need to sit next to them while you are trying to enjoy a meal. A surprising upside to the ban, since you can still smoke outside, the bars and cafes have left the outdoor seating set up even as it grows colder, and some have actually added propane heaters!
This evening Sarah is going to her first opera! Gabriele, Sarah's violin teacher, is taking Sarah and Virginia along with her to the Carlo Felice opera house for this evening's performance of "Don Giovanni" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Gabriele is playing violin in the orchestra which includes her husband and brother who play the violin as well. It should be a fantastic experience for all. Seeing that Sarah and Vi will be at the theater early with the musicians they will able to hear the orchestra warm up and the opera singers cue on stage! The girls will be meeting up with the rest of their classmates for the show. If you really want to be cultured, click here for the history and story of the opera and composer!
Tomorrow morning we are leaving for Piemonte. Ahh... isn't life grand?!

If only we all could eat that well and still keep that petite little figure. What a lucky little lovebug she is.
