We have had a great first week in Italy. It is so beautiful and I can't wait to see more of it. We have been adjusting pretty well in all aspects except for our sleep schedule. I guess it's more like Connor's sleep schedule. Aaron and I can sleep all the time, Connor on the other hand is having a hard time staying asleep at night. He likes to wake up at midnight and play. He has also been sleeping with us for part of the night, every night. I usually wake up with a foot in my back or about to fall off the bed because Connor has pushed me to the edge.
He looks pretty comfy with his daddy.
Getting him to nap is much easier.
The food is awesome. We have had a lot of real Italian food, and it is so much better than Olive Garden! We have ordered a few dishes that weren't what we expected when they arrived. We have also had Chinese, Greek food, and American food.
After walking for what seemed like miles, we found the Chinese restaurant.
Chicken with mixed vegetables.
Sesame chicken.
There were fish swimming under the floor.
We were surprised how small the takeout containers were.
Pizza and lasagna.
Panini with mozzerella, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Margherita bruscheta.
Gelato heaven!
It was so good.
Our car still hasn't arrived from America, so we walk most places. I have become pretty used to it and don't complain as much as I did the first day {Aaron might tell you otherwise}. Lucky Connor gets to sit in his stroller and enjoy the ride.
He grabs everything within reach.
On Saturday, Aaron's sponsor and his wife took us to the mall and downtown Vicenza. We loved getting out of the hotel and seeing some of the city.
The building with the blue roof is the center of Vicenza.
Saint Mary of Mount Berico Catholic Church.
This is what I imagined Italy would look like.
Piazza dei Signori
Connor liked feeding the birds.
It was very crowded!
Pretty flowers at a flower shop.
There were street performers all over.
He hadn't napped in all day, so he was exhausted.
This dog was just watching the people and cars on the pillar.
We had a fun first week, but have a busy week ahead of us. Aaron had to "in process" all last week and will continue to this week. Tomorrow morning we are going to look at a house that's for rent. We like what we have seen online, so hopefully we will like it in person. On Wednesday I am going to a drivers class, and Thursday I will take the test so I can get my Italian drivers license. Hopefully we will have more fun on the weekend :) Ciao!
