Jenny joined us for the Easter break this year! We had a great time catching up and touring around Tuscany and Liguria. Over the 10 days, Jenny had the experience of dining with 'the locals' - our family, on many occassions, as well as eating out and enjoying specialities such as cecina (chickpea pancake - delicious!), paste (many different kinds of pastries), different flavours of gelato (Italian ice-cream - simply divine!), caffe e cappuccino (Italian coffee), insalate con aceto balsamico e olio d'oliva (salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil), and of course different types of pane (Italian bread) and pasta. We explored various places - Pisa, Lucca, Viareggio, Marina di Pisa, Cinque Terre and Firenze. We also had a few fabulous nights (until very late in the evening/morning) playing Australian MONOPOLY! (yes, no more wild nights on hard liquor!). This wedding gift from the Wray-Browns is wonderful and playing games such as this really brings out a different side to people... sharks everywhere! It was so wonderful to spend quality time with such a good friend - thanks for visiting Jen - we miss you!

P. S. Jen - if I left anything out, let me know :)
