OK, I didn't go and I dont want to talk about it. I had found a room in Positano and I wasn on the Alitalia page ready to book my ticket, and I didn't. So undecided, I was. Geesh.
I ended up doing nothing for three days. The first two days I watched the Olympics on TV and almost never left my house. I went out once to have a coffee with a friend and I bought shoes, justifying the purchase with the money saved from the trip-not-taken. The thrid day I went to the beach and read a book. I watched the Sex and the City movie in English for the first time and spent a lot of time on my slingbox, mostly watching the Learning Channel and HGTV. I love Jon and Kate plus Eight. Such a great show.
I relaxed and slept late. Today back to work. Sigh. I am a summer person. I am happier, more fun and gosh-darnit better-looking in the summer. The fact that it is the end of August is already making me nervous. Can I really do a whole other winter here? I think one of the main reasons I live in Italy is so that I can be here in the summer. I suffer from September (even though its still warm there isn't that "summer feeling" in September) all the way through May just so I can can have those precious three months of sun, beaches, and Italains. That's right, the people here are different in the summer. They are Mediterreanen and the sun gets into their blood. And into mine too.

Winter is hard here! Even worse down south. Wrap up warm and find somethign to keep you busy, then summer seems so much more special when it finally arrives!
ciao Nancy,
I'm in the States, but I have a friend near Vicenza, Veneto, Italy, who's looking for somebody to practice his English with, and I am tryting to help him find somebody. I am looking for Americans or English-speakers in the area who might be interested in an English-for-Italian exchange with him. Do you know or have you met other Americans or English-speakers (Canadians, Aussies, Brits) in the area? If you think they might be interested, could you please tell them to contact me?

Thanks!

I hope everything is ok and you haven't decided to give up on your blog. I have been checking back for two months hoping for a new post.
It will be so sad if we are losing both you and Niki from not the life I chose. :(
as you are in Venice have you ever got out and about to the surrounding region? Positano is a hike at the best of times and all those damn steps will kill you! I personally like Alexandria, Padova and Cison di Valmarino/Susegana for the prosecco.
Stay overnight at Castelbrando ask for Enrico Mazzocco and tell him Alex at http://www.iliostravel.com sent you. if you don't fall in love with the hotel, the views, the food and the location then you must be dead inside and fully deserve Positano and the south!
Hi Nancy,
Just wanted to let you know that I sent you an email today.
Hope you are well!
Hello Nancy,
I hope that all is well with you and that you have better distractions than the blog. All the very best wishes,
Rosa
