Busy Week

We haven't posted much in the past two weeks, but we have an excuse.  It's been insanely busy here.  Ann's club for English speaking women has kept her week filled with lots to do.  She walks and has joined the 'Mom's and Tot's' group.  

Thomas is in the full-swing of primary school.  Every day he has some story to tell us about someone's lost pencil case or silly first-grade joke.  He's making a little progress in  his French class, and told us about French colors and greetings today.  

We didn't go exploring this week because John had a business trip that started during the weekend.  He travelled to Monte Carlo for some meetings, which was something of an experience in itself.  So many cars that are worth more than our house.....

Finally, last week was the World Road Cycling Championships in our area.  Varese, which is the largest town near our home, hosted this years event.  It got a lot of press coverage here, and much of the city was shut-down for the events.
