We've been keeping busy sightseeing, but my parents are also having fun just relaxing at our apartment and hanging out with Evan. It's been a HUGE help having them here, and I've been joking with my Mom that her profile picture on the "au pair" website was a bit dated, and her Italian isn't as good as she claimed, but she's still well worth the 2 euro an hour and boy is she a hard worker! Her new nickname is Luigia...my Italian Au Pair:)ha!
My parents studied up on a bit of Italian before they arrived, and they've been practicing some of the words they learned. The funniest was when they practiced their "Grazie"..(Thank You), by enthusiastically smiling and waving and yelling "Grazie" in unison to the beggar at the toll booth. They thought she was a toll collector there to help drivers understand the automated toll collecting machine. That was truly their 'tourist' moment! Hysterical!
I've posted some pics from time relaxing at the apartment, catching some wind down at our beach, strolling in the park, and playing with Evan. There's also one of Luigia hard at work in the kitchen:)
