I thought you might be interested in reading the e-mail I recently received from Ms. Dunn. Did I ever tell you that I truly believe that in a previous life I lived in Florence, Italy? Yup, it's not just a belief, but a feeling that sweeps over me whenever I stand in front of the beautiful church, the Duomo. Ok, so you think I'm crazy, but the feeling happens EVERY TIME I'm there. . .and who should live nearby now (?????), but Ms. Dunn and Mr. Schwarz. Since I don't have a picture of the two of them, I'm going to show you a few pictures of the Duomo from my vacation last November. What a sight to behold! And to think that Dunn/Schwarz will be seeing it EVERY DAY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! I'm so envious!
First the pictures, then the e-mail.
THE E-MAIL:
Thanks for your email Karen. I'm glad you returned safely from your travels to Europe. Axel and I have been in Florence for a week now. We rented an apartment a few blocks east of the Duomo. It is in an 800 year old building, but inside it's nice and modern thanks to IKEA. We have begun the process of looking for teaching jobs, but all of Europe apparently goes on vacation during the month of August, so we have been told we probably won't hear anything until the end of August. So mostly we are trying to transition to life here and trying to avoid the heat and tourists.We'll email periodically to share our experiences. Ciao, m.
