Ric and I leave tonight for Bologna. We're spending New Year's Eve there, although we don't land until 10:30pm. No big party plans, but we're hoping to find a nice little cafe or restaurant where we can enjoy some Italian wine while welcoming in the New Year.
The weather forecast looks pretty intimidating... the BBC is calling for heavy snow tomorrow, with the highs in the 20's!!!! Oh my.
After a couple days of trying to stay warm in Bologna (by eating as much as possible and sticking strictly to red wine), we head to Florence for a night before going home. I'm so glad that we've been able to visit a couple times since moving to London... While a lot has changed since we lived there 8 (!!!) years ago, like no more Sketchy Bar, it still feels like a home away from home and it's always such a great feeling to go back. This time I'm especially excited about dinner at Trattoria dei Quattro Leoni. A great restaurant that we found out about on our last trip but only had time to eat lunch there.
It's hard to believe that 2008 is already over, but what a year. Full of new countries, weddings, babies, new work challenges, new friends, lots of visitors, a little homesickness, and great food. We are so lucky to have such good friends and family in our lives, and we wish you all a wonderful New Year. Have fun and be safe!
