We have been enjoying our last few days in Italy. When we returned to our hotel in Florence we were greeted like returning family. Tonight we took Caitie and her roommates to dinner at a restaraunt that we ate in twice during our last stay and once before this stay and the entire staff treated us like neighborhood friends. It has been great to know our way around this small part of Florence and to have familiar faces to make us feel more welcome.
Tomorrow we leave for Rome. Caitie and her friends are joining us for brunch at a restaurant that reportedly serves an American style breakfast, something we all have done without for months. Then, after our visit, Mike and I board a train for the two hour ride directly to the Rome airport where we are staying at the Airport Hilton (thank you work-earned Hilton points) the night before our morning flight. We fly to Cincinnati then on to Seattle.
We have been thinking and planning our holidays. We expect to spend our time from mid-December to mid-January with family then we think we will head to San Miguel de Allende in Mexico for six weeks for Spanish lessons and holiday. We have located several condos available for rent that allow us to stay downtown near the heart of the city. If any of you have similar experiences and advice please let us know.
We have several busy days ahead, so it may be a few days before you hear from us again.
Love, Deanne

We are excited to see you both! Hotel Handron in B-ham awaits your arrival on the 16th. While the bathroom is down the hall across from your room, you will have it all to yourselves...
Have a safe flight home!
We start Spanish lessons on Wednesday and I can see if anyone in the class has a suggestion or two. I don't know where the place is that you refer to ~ do you have a location preference? Anyway, sunny Mexico sounds better than cold Colorado (that time of year)!! Travel safe and talk to you soon. Love me
I can report to everyone that Hotel Handron in Bellingham is wonderful. The bed was devine-neither a hammock nor a bed of nails. The bathroom across the hall was fine...we had the floor to ourselves so we walked to the bathroom in our undies and no one could see! Thanks for the wonderful night Mike and Dana. We look forward to a few weeks more in December!
Love, Dee
