Postcard from Italy

IMG_7368
Bonjour from Italy!
We are on a feverish 7-day foray through Italy. Our adventure began in Grasse, France, where we rented a camping car and began our gradual climb to the Dolomites. I had a strange tingle in my throat the night of our departure and by day 3 on the road the flu had its “grippe” on me! But Jean-Marc’s sense of adventure has kept me gripping the passenger seat of our camper, forgetting my aches and pains. I’ll tell you more in next week’s post. For now, hello from Parma… on the road home. 

un abbraccio,

Kristi 

P.S. We are also celebrating 29 years since tying the knot at the Mairie in Marseille (we celebrate our church wedding in September). Alors, hats off to us. Le mariage c’est une longue aventure!

note: grippe = flu in French

  1. OH, you bad two!!! If you are going to Rome, WE ARE NOT THERE! Please plan the next Italian jaunt when we are somewhere to greet you. And I am sure you will lose the grippe on that cold soon…just hope you didn’t have it with the kiss, haha. Buon viaggio!

  6. Happy Anniversary! I wish you and Jean Marc twenty nine more years and then some. You were a good sport and a hearty soul to continue on a trip while having a bout with the grippe. Rest up a bit when you return home. Sincere best wishes …
