WELCOME, KYLE AND VICTORIA!



We were so glad to welcome Kyle and Victoria to our house in Bra this morning. Kyle has had a business meeting in Paris, and Victoria played around in Paris for 2 days while he was working. Then, this morning, they flew into Torino, and we picked them up at the airport.

The weather report showed snow most of the day, so we went directly back to Bra, and sure enough, the snow was consistent all day. By the evening, there were a couple of inches of slush on the sidewalks and streets. If this freezes tonight, we will have a hard time getting around tomorrow morning.

Kyle and Victoria were really hungry and tired from getting to the airport so early, and they were happy to have some food that Peter made and to take a long afternoon nap. Afterward, we went for a walk in the snow and got some pasta and carrots for supper from Grimaldi’s pasta shop and some Giolito cheeses to take to an aperitivo that Jac and Francesco have invited all of us to tomorrow evening. Sounds like fun.

After aperitivo with belinis, some of Enzo’s wonderful cheese spread and Pugliana bread, Peter made us a delicious pasta dinner made with  Emanuel’s French butter and Mara’s apple torta for dessert. Delicious!

Thanks for coming to visit us, Kyle and Victoria! We love having you here with us!
