Some pictures of where we will be living.

These were all taken with Texas Harry's camera.So these are NOT my pictures!! hahaha but I thought I'd share what the town we're moving to looks like and pictures of the house we will be living in.  The contract hasn't been signed yet but Richard seemed fairly sure that it would all work out.

The first few pictures are in and around the piazza in Basiglio(Bah-see-lee-ooo)

AHHHHHH PIZZA!!! hahahaha

And now the house, this is the living room coming in from the front door I think. Lots of shelves and leather couch so at least Reese can't stain it like she did the last one in Vancouver!!! The people in the picture work at the cafe that the landlords own, and are living there at the moment.

Door to the side goes to the terrace and then backyard

To the right is the main floor bathroom, only shower in the house, currently getting a new shower enclosure...and might need a new curtain too :)

THE BOX aka the garage, which of course will be empty of all of that random stuff when we move in...it has a manual lift/slide door! :)

The tavern style kitchen in the basement. The door frame to the right of the picture goes out into the garden. Door to the left is a pantry. Cooking with gas, which I've NEVER done before!!!

The terrace on the left and the backyard is fenced/enclosed! To the right is the second floor bathroom, so Reese's bathtub!!

What will be used as our guest room, so study it well friends and family :)

To the left is looking into the rest of the complex, the other photo will likely be Reese's room as it already has a low to the floor single bed. Perfect, just need to check safety on some of the other furniture now!!

Our bathroom in the master room up in the attic!!! His and Her sinks!!

Jacuzzi tub!!! And yes folks, that thing in the lower left corner is indeed a BIDET......and no, I have never used one and have no idea how you go about doing it. Maybe google can tell me!!

Our room and the permanent drawers, so lots of storage

The master room, might have to see how the bed works out!!! Big skylight can be opened, kind of cool :)

Richard has made it to Milan, already having phone issues!!

So Richard made it to Milan and sent me the number to call his hotel room. It just rang and rang with no answer for me and didn't ring at all on his end!! So then he gave me the number to the front desk and I called that twice and no answer. Now we're trying to get the phone card working from the other end so he can call me. Ahhhhh European phone systems.
Just spoke to Richard, despite me telling him numerous times that he needed a 1 Euro coin to get a luggage trolley in Milan airport he arrived without one and the change machine was broken(as apparently it usually is!) and he had to haul all four of his gigantic bags through customs and out to the taxis all by himself...yuck.
We were warned NOT to take the guys standing by the airport doors' taxis. So he went and found the official taxi stand. It was a 35 Euro trip to the hotel and he's all checked in and ready to go.
Tomorrow he is meeting our estate agent in the afternoon to look at places one of the other guys Ken is tagging along too. Can't wait to hear how that goes!!!!
Looks like we've potentially sold a few more things off our list, not sure about the car though. Someone is interested and said they'd get back to me tonight with an offer. Hopefully its over what we want or I'll have to say no!!! ahhhhhh the joys of selling off all of your worldly goods :)
Richard is going to take pictures of the places they are looking at tomorrow so hopefully I'll get an email full tomorrow night.
Its hot in Calgary tonight, but apparently its BRUTAL in Milan!!!
