28 December 2015: Fast Forward to the Holiday Update

So my friends in Italy have been very hard at work, despite the fact that it's the holidays.  Today's update still not very sexy.  But I can see the progress.  I am particularly pleased with the work they have done to build a staircase that will connect Craig's villa to my property below. The quality of the building is amazing.

Our thinking is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts with this one.  And if, some day, we should choose to sell, the property will be worth a lot more as a whole unit.  But since I plan to live here for at least a few years, I think mostly about how it will make life a lot easier for us and the dogs.

Buone Feste!
