Christmas in Pisa 2007

We drove from Waterloo back to Pisa - via Luxembourg, France and Switzerland! It was minus 6 when we left Waterloo, and the drive, especially through France, was a snowy one. We spent the night in Lugano, Switzerland (Ale was exhausted from driving!), and we enjoyed fantastic pizzas for dinner. Ale was surprised by everyone speaking Italian outside of Italy! By the time we arrived back in Pisa, Ale was terribly ill (I think that I'd passed on my germs from the previous week!), so we had a very quiet Christmas together - we couldn't attend any family or friend events as he was simply too ill. He eventually recovered, and we enjoyed a lovely meal with Peter, Mary, Nonna and Antonio in the newly renovated Meucci apartment - che bello! The weather over the three weeks we were together in Pisa was very cold... so we enjoyed spending time at home, curled up with a book next to a heater, or in bed watching DVDs! The hot water bottle came in handy - and thank-you to the Wray-Browns for sending us two new hot water bottles for Christmas! - they have been put to good use :)
