A Good Trip

We are back from Italy. We accomplished the only real goal and motivation we had which was for Dwane to see his daughter and her family and meet his granddaughter. So, that feels very complete. We had a very good trip. Dwane put forth good effort to be a good travel companion. A fear I had had before going did not materialize: we managed to not lose each other, except very briefly. Still I recognize that it took a lot of energy for me to be constantly vigilant for his safety. It was fabulous eating the local food, making human connections with local people, seeing Michelangelo's David and other wonderful art, going to an Italian opera. The hotel we stayed in was lovely and centrally located, as promised. We could walk any where we needed to go, and my ability to speak Spanish served us well in communicating in Italian. All in all, a really fabulous trip.
