I had to come back to the US for work...I only had a quick first visit to Italy to help Kristen get moved in and settled a bit. I'll be back in Italy in no time though. In the meantime, I'll make the best out of it...picking fresh veggies every day and if I'm lucky surfing a little (September is my favorite month for surfing in NJ!). Kristen will be fine in Italy without me thanks to our new friends there. Everyone we've met so far has been terrific! I can't believe how many dinner invitations we had in our first two weeks there! So I'm not worried about Kristen at all.
Being back in NJ is very strange. After less than two weeks in Italy I think I got used to the slower pace of life already. I can't believe how fast everything moves back here! And how crowded it feels! I know, I know, it's probably just that I was in vacation mode...but man do we move fast here. Besides missing Kristen, I'm really missing all the socializing that we were doing in Italy. It's very strange that after more than two "years" in our new house back here we still have never been invited to any of our neighbors' houses for dinner or coffee or drinks. I can't tell you how many times we've been invited to neighbors' houses in Italy! Part of that is the nature of the international community and Kristen's school. But I think a much bigger part is the Italian (or European) culture. In any event, living in Italy is really going to be a life-changing experience for sure!
