American Girl in Italy

How does the blue mold get in Gorgonzola? Have you ever heard the rocks at Castiglioncello sing and why do writers always seek solace in Italy? Time for me to find the answers to these and see, if in doing so, I also find my home.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Rome, RM, Italy

i am actually the lost royal heir to the small kingdom of Birundi...having been secreted away by my wet nurse when mean overlords arrived turning our little known, yet terribly chic fiefdom into a nasty republic. now my people sit glued with their eyes glazed.....dreaming of distant IRA's and stock options, having long forgotten the taste of sweet green olive oil and the scent of rosemary.

Snow Conspiracies

So now I am stuck. Was supposed to fly out to Florence today at 5:40 but all flights out of Dulles have been cancelled. Doesn't really matter....even if the flight was still on, there is no way I can dig out from the 32 inches of snow that has me trapped in a friend's house where even the thought of getting in a car would surely be foolhardy.

I had wanted my next post to everyone to be "Hello! I am in Florence!" and instead I am stuck here, dialing United over and over again, waiting for a break in this storm and the chance to fly this coup.
