Not only am I saddened that I don't get to write that much anymore, but every once in awhile I have an aahh moment where I think I should write about this.
This morning was one of those. My child will be entering first grade in the Fall. This is a huge transition for any parent especially one living abroad. I have to learn what it is all about and show no signs of anxiety in doing so.
Anyhow in our small town the Elementary School decided to invite all the future first graders to visit the new school. Each child was paired with an older child who will be leaving the school. They showed the children around, had a snack, games and even a small gift for the new students. The first grade teachers were present, parents and kindergarten teachers too. It made me feel much more at ease with the whole transition and I thought how great that in a small town it can be pulled off so easily. It was only organized the day prior! Will keep you informed.
Experience true Italy with me as I give you a real life glimpse of what it is like living in Italy. This is about living a slower, simpler, more fulfilling life as the Italian lifestyle. This is about all things Italian: renting or purchasing property, off the beaten path tours, raising a family in Italy,regional unbelievable food, recipes,bargain shopping in Italy,and much much more.Enjoy!

I've read almost all of your posts after coming across your blog through a Google search.
I don't see an email here to contact you and I was wondering if you'd be willing to answer some questions regarding your area.
I am planning to visit in October 2010 and thought you might have some insight into some of the places I'm looking at.
You can contact me at salenalettera@gmail.com
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for posting! I am so glad your child's transition into first grade (and, thereby yours too) is handled with such care.
I am part of a small group of women (most of us are writers) coming to Chiusi for the month of September. We would love to be in contact with you about Chiusi and environs and your experiences there. Six of us are from California, 1 from Canada and 1 from Australia (Perth).
Realizing your life is full and busy, perhaps communicating by email might be possible?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
