Hey, let's try this again, with pictures this time~!

Also, in case it hasn't been made clear yet, the actual website for the blog is:

Hi! 2 games later, we are finally posting a 2nd blog. It took us awhile to figure out the whole "google groups" mailing list, so now hopefully you'll each receive an email when I publish this post.

I wanted to share a few pics of our house and neighborhood. We live about a 6 minute walk from the City Center, which is where there is a lot of shopping, restaurants, etc. When walking to the Center, I pass by several fresh fruit and vegetable shops, pastry shops (pasticcerias), coffee shops, and little drug stores. Our apartment is on the 2nd level of this green building.

However, just a 1/2 block from the house is a Segafredo coffee shop. Segafredo is to Italy like Starbucks is to the States. It just so happens that the family that owns this particular Segafredo, the Manoni's, is also the owner of our apartment. I was already familiar with Segafredo, because the first one in the U.S. happened to open up about a year ago 2 blocks from my showroom/office in St. Louis. You can see the old guys wondering what the heck I'm doing taking this picture. They all sit out on the patio everyday and are big basketball fans, so they all notice when Ryan and I come and go, since it's hard to miss our car!!! Later... Brenna
