Well we're starting to feel a bit more settled at the start of our second week. We've made a couple of trips to the super merchado which were fun and interesting, and we've managed a few day trips of sight-seeing as well.
First, a note about groceries here. In certain respects, they're awesome. Sam's in heaven with the array of pork products available (like the good jew he is). The only catch seems to be in the baby food department. All of it looks and sounds disgusting. Most of it is a whitish grey color, and they actually offer pureed horse meat! (I thought Jen would particularly appreciate that). Luckily, Eli's quickly phasing out of the jarred stuff. Otherwise, we're thoroughly enjoying our culinary adventure so far. Unfortunately we haven't been able to eat out yet because Eli can't stay up late enough. Restaurants don't start serving dinner until 7:30pm so we're trying to slowly adjust Eli's schedule so he's more of a night owl.
Our day trips have been great! We went up to Lake Bolsena and the town of Civita on Saturday. Eli loves the water. Civita was awesome as well. It's on it's own little perch surround by steep cliffs on all sides. The only way to get there is by a bridge from the next closest town. It has a population of 15 people year round.
We went to a beach in Tuscany today but forgot to bring the camera of course. I've posted some pics from our Lake & Civita adventure. Off to Rome tomorrow...
Ciao,
the Savages

It's so fun for us to watch you guys out living a grand adventure! You all look breezy and happy, and we hope you're enjoying yourselves. In a weird way it makes me miss Kazakhstan... but only a little bit! I'd stay away from that horsemeat baby food if I were you! -Jen
Eli looks like he is having a great time. The weatehr looks great and I am a bit jealous since it's still winter here in Syndey. The bump is getting larger by the minute. Only 7 weeks to go! Miss you all. -Danielle
