The scorpion really added some good drama to the trip. I was fearful every night I went to sleep after that. Really what I loved about staying in the Villa was how peaceful it was. Thanks for reading and being a part of it.

Once again you have completely outdone yourself. What fun to laugh out loud and cry tears at the same time. Never forget the scorpion incident or the fight for a bathroom in the” first class” restaurant.I would have failed to realize our good fortune at being in a first class restaurant if he hadn’t told us. I just wish he had told me before I asked to use the bathroom. I mean honestly…….first class restaurants don’t have bathrooms. Please leave. Loved Christian, our wine expert. They need him on the E channel. He would make a great foreign correspondent. Its all so good. Thanks so much.

I did notice passed rather than past. My thought was that if you had just put a comma after selves, passed would have just worked fine so………… I gave you guys a “pass” on that bit of proofreading Love you guys!

hahaha Becky I liked that line too. Limoncello and the toilet. I also changed the passed to past. Man proofreading is challenging. Thanks for mentioning my mom not sleeping in the room again. That was a great memory as well as Peter dodging insects as he took pictures. What a trip! Loved it!

“We took our second class selves passed their first class chalkboard menu
and checkerboard tablecloths and eventually found a cafe where we
treated ourselves to limoncello and the toilet.” That is my favorite line of this blog. I laughed out loud for a long time. I had totally forgotten that entire incident. Thanks for the memories. And, like you, I missed the killing of the scorpion. So wish I had been there to see that. I would NOT have been one bit helpful in that endeavor other than screaming. You forgot to mention that Rosemary never slept in that room again. She moved upstairs and slept in the extra bed in my room. She figured the ground floor was just full of nasty creatures. PLUS watching Peter try to get away from the bees and/or hornets while taking pictures of you and Rosemary was hilarious. I was laughing so hard. Remember, there was a nest nearby. Good times!
