I totally agree with you about the culture shock after returning to the US many years later. I traveled the world (97 countries) for 5 years on a motorcycle! Then I decided to settle down in Rome. I was there for 2 years traveling all over Italy then 2 weeks ago I landed in Detroit (I am actually in the suburbs) and was not ready or it. Yes everything is big and convenient to a point! To make a long story short: I miss the Dolce Vita...........You guys have a great family. Happy Thanksgiving.

I love your family dynamic. The life you are providing for your kids is priceless. I grew up moving all over the world and now nearing age 68 years. The education of world travel, in and out of the classroom, is my most treasured life experience. I truly believe experiencing other cultures paves the way to world peace.

It warms my heart to see how much your enjoying a break from your work. It shows so much in your speech, your smiles and your actions just how badly needed this break was for you. Seeing your families, all the hugs and renewing old friendships is going to give you a second wind, you deserve this so so much. You have put in a hard year of very hard work. Love you guys, have fun.

Great to see you are taking time out to restock your energy banks! You have worked so hard on the stone house. All that digging, concreting and moving of heavy materials must have really zapped you. Not only that the stress of your visa situation must be adding another layer of stress. Enjoy the time with family and friends and just being a family. You will benefit in so many ways. Just praying that all is ok when you return to Italy. Best wishes.
