Settling in.


We are managing to get ourselves up before 10am now. Had a productive day. We picked up our rental car (having no Alfas on hand, they were obliged to give us a free upgrade to a BMW320-diesel). We swung by cousin Luana's house and stayed for a couple of hours as the family came home from school/work for the afternoon meal. Isabella figured out our cell phone issues for us -- we had entered incorrect numbers for each other. Doh!
The weather turned gray today but the predicted rain has still not happened, as of 4:30pm. We've been to the Esselunga supermarket and provisioned ourselves with a week's worth of groceries and sundries.
Our Italian skills seems to be resurrecting nicely, our comprehension seems as good as before. Surely embarrassing linguistic errors are in our future, but we are trying not to anticipate them.

Photo: living room of our apartment (3rd floor walk-up). The front windows face the earthern berm of the inside of the city walls, with a street in between.
