I am posting this from a little internet point in a very small town. Internet access is like Gold in these parts – and even though half an hour costs 5 Euro, the connection is very slow… anyway, took over 300 photos since arriving, but will have to wait to post them until later. Saw a cafe in Florence with Wi-Fi and might go there on Saturday. After four days of near constant rain we are enjoying sunshine all of this week. Ah, I checked our ListeningLounge and amazon.com and Winter Rose is available. Got to go now – ciao!

PS: I decided to back-date my entries and to post them as I wrote them. So, do check all of October for posts.
