It's truly amazing what is 2 hours drive from our front door. This weekend we headed south into the region of Liguria. This region is protected by the Appennines, so the driving was winding roads. We didn't get an early start and we didn't have reservations, but that didn't matter. We reached our destination of Portofino and had a wonderfully relaxed afternoon and evening. Now my month long, or has it been since June?, vacation is over. It's back to laundry, ironing cleaning and add to that, a Friday morning bible study on Matthew, and a Benvenuto club event almost weekly. The club is for women expats who are english speaking interested in many things in Milan.This Wednesday is a trip to Lago d'Iseo.
