April 22 - 28, 2014
We have learned that the weather is not always perfect here. There are thunderstorms and rain that keep us from going on some of our outings, but that is why it is so lush and green here. We have been hanging out with the family and doing what they do. We go to the movies on post, shop, and help the kids with homework.

They live on the right side of this duplex. Photo was taken from their neighbor's balcony.

We also went to some baseball practices and games.

This coach for the Aviano team had a lot of colorful banter. She would have been better than Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own!
We had lunch at one of their favorites - Regina's.
We also had dinner at Il Fauno where we ate two years ago; had the same waitress!
Il Fauno is where Patrick first had spaghetti olio and now he makes it at home.
This restaurant is across the street and down the block from Regina's.
And we learned to ride the train and bus!
