Hello,
I am interested in your idea....
My husband and I are living in Italy for the year....2009....we live just outside of Todi....just south of Perugia in the Umbrian Region...I'm going to look up your area to see how far away you are...

We have our Permesso di Sigiorno for 1 year....

I turned 40 this year and my husband turned 60...so we have decided to take a year off from our lives and explore Italy and Europe. We have been here since January 1st....

I am looking for something to do in my next era of my life....that is what this year is for...to see what we want to do for the next 10 years......my husband is retired...so really it's my self-exploration year....but anway...

Would love to chat more...have been looking for ideas for a business and a way to stay in Italy or Europe longer......just kicking some things around...but would love to hear what you are thinking and see if whap happens...

Take care...and I have often said that a "Subway Sandwich" would make a killing here....if it was open all day like it normally is...I would kill for a sandwich right now...or you are right..what I wouldn't give for a fountain drink of soda with crushed ice....that is what I miss most from the U.S...and that is ice! A good ol' greasy burger would be heaven as well....

Look forward to talking with you...I am very interested in what you are thinking!

I have a blog on my website...kind of chronically our journey here this year...if you want to check out the blog...our website is Welcome to Bayside Properties!

Ciao!

LaDonna
