Horror of horrors! The title of my last post should have read "One Last Cannolo." Cannoli is plural! Shame on me.
Anyway, life here is good. The weather is spotty, lots of rain with the occasional glorious day in between. We, especially Caroline and Eli, have taken some amazing hikes in the neighboring countryside. The wildflowers are in bloom, and the ancient ruins abound. Yesterday I took a bike ride with two American colleagues, Rolf and Chris. We passed by vineyards, olive groves, Etruscan tombs, and a medieval castle, all covered with various colorful blossoms. Caroline and Eli, along with Ashley, another American colleague, went on a hike and saw an abandoned medieval castle and a waterfall. In other words, it was an average Sunday here in Viterbo for the Savages.
In case you haven't heard, I did get an offer from Deerfield, and I accepted. I will start there in the fall of 2009. We are as excited as can be. We get one more year here, and then we are off to live in a beautiful setting in Western Massachusetts.
That's it for now. I would post pictures, but I am at school, and there are no pictures on my work computer. I hope that you all are well. Keep in touch. Ciao!
