23 March 2006, Lavariano
A strange mood has descended over the house where we are staying with Gi's aunt and family. Our invitation to stay and help with the move, and possibly stay long term seems to be waivering. The hard thing about families is that they are made up of people, and people have problems, and problems require solutions, which requires action and a change in thinking and attitude...and we seem to have fallen smack bang into the middle of some sort of vortex where everything is too hard, too much, and too overwhelming.
We were seriously considering living up here, connecting with the family, sourcing work, sliding into Italy through the Northern back door where everything functions better, things are more organised and civilised. But the signals of the last couple of days seem to be saying it's not the right place. Maybe the problem is that we have too many options! And I'm not much help, with my 'I can be, write and study the language anywhere' rhetoric whenever Gi asks for some input. But things will resolve themselves. And in the meantime we have been observing the difference in the food from Naples ...and the pizza seems to be pulling us back south again.
More photos soon.

Hi Gigi and Jenny!
Its good to hear you are both well. I just read some posts and they are really funny - thanks for inviting me to your blog!
Are you actually going to live in Italy? That must be really hard, especially for Jenny. I wish you both all the best. Italy sure is great.
Love, Renate (Holland)
Hi Jen & Gi! We are missing you heaps! I have even taken to using the blue "friends" cup at work. I love your blog and will enjoy reading it often. Very humorous observations are keeping us amused. Take care both of you. Love Kristina & Madii. PS Madii got a job at Hungry Jacks!
