It's not that we don't want to come home; we just don't want to leave.

Difficult as it is to believe, the time has come to leave Paderno. The students have gone as have most of the faculty. We have said goodby to the CIMBA staff with promises to return.

Deena arrived on Thursday, and despite some rainy weather, we have taken her to Bassano, Venice, Crespano market, and today -- Asolo and perhaps Mt. Grappa. The highlight for her was the trip to San Lorenzo, about 2 hours from here; her parents were born there. More on that adventure later!

Tomorrow, we head to Verona and show Deena that beautiful city's highlights. She will then take an overnight train to London to visit her friend Jen for 5 days while the girls and I will explore Beaune in Burgundy, France and Caen in Normandy, France. Next Monday, we'll ferry to Portsmouth and meet Deena in Winchester. Then, all too soon, back to the States.

Much to update on the blog, but it might have to wait for awhile.
