Italy Day 1: Chillin’ in the Heat
[This HAPPENED on 02 August 2014, but was written 10 SEPTEMBER 2014. Take everything with a grain of salt!]
After all the driving we did to get to Italy from France the day before, the first full day in Italy was designated quiet! So we just hung out in and by the mini-mansion. It was neither terribly hot nor humid, just somewhat. It was nice! (27 images total)
Ah, wildlife!
There were a lot of bugs there. Thankfully nobody got stung by a wasp, but the mosquitoes got quite a few of us.
Cute lizard is cute.

The plums were very nice!
Kiddos playing.
Eating small sweet plums. I’ve taken so many photos of people eating, that this should fix some of my karma.
The kids found some berries that didn’t taste very good, but made excellent (body) paint!
Anna with her art.
Emma no longer in her pajamas.
The ground littered with fallen plums. These weren’t as sweet as the other ones, and thus less popular.
A few adults enjoying the peace and quiet behind the house.
We never used the BBQ pit, but apparently this place is rented out for parties too.
Body-painting-with-berries in progress.
Bjarki looking worse for wear.
He was on the snake team.
Am I never happy?!
Finnur inspecting Bjarki’s paintwork.
The boys decided to check out the cellar, armed with a broom because there were a LOT of cobwebs.
Spooky!!
There was almost nothing down there. These winebottles, and an empty fridge were pretty much it.
A scene from a computer game?
The kids came downstairs. Brave kids!
The chefs. They were awesome. Highly recommended!
Good cheese!!
An excellent selection!
Finnur and me in the same picture?! This never happens!! The house had wifi, but it pretty much only worked in the dining room where the router was. It was spotty everywhere else, and completely unavailable in our bedroom. Internet addiction is no joke! 😉
