Terremoto is a word I'd rather not have look up in our dictionary while living here. This Italian word for earthquake we had to learn this week. While preparing lunch we felt the house vibrate as if a train were passing. At first one thinks -wow, I don't remember any tracks near here. Then we heard the (empty, of course) wine bottles clanking together and knew this wasn't a train. We have patio doors just by the table and just I was opening them to tell the kids to get out of the house, the rumbling stopped. Sure enough a 4.2 tremor shook Perugia. Scary and exciting. Nina missed out of the fun. She was in Milan doing some interviews.
The pole just outside our house fell - from the snow, not from the quake - missing our friend Giulia's car by a few feet.
Scuola in the snow.
Strange to see a palm tree covered in snow.
Lulu showing off her her one-tooth-short smile. She lost her front tooth last night after DAYS of it hanging by a tread.
Felix presents a play for his class...in Italian! We're very proud...didn't even need his lines. Press play to see him in action.
