Ancona!
We’re back!
I can’t believe it, but I really missed putting new posts up on the blog. It’s really become a nice little outlet. I’ve been accumulating things to talk about, and will be posting them shortly. In the meantime, ponder this:
If I were to make a snap judgment, I would say that on the surface, Peruiga is prettier than Ancona. WWII was not kind to Ancona, and a lot of the city suffered pretty major bombings. From what I hear, many of the older historical buildings were destroyed. But when someone from Ancona asks us why we moved here, they always follow up there surprise by saying, “C’e il mare…” In Ancona, there is the sea. As I write this, I can look out my balcony and see the sea.
Maybe Ancona is prettier after all…

Welcome back! Glad that the move went well. Randy and Matt and I were just talking about you guys yesterday and wondering when you would be back online. I think both Ancona and Perugia are beautiful, but for different things. Perugia has the charm of that old Italian town and looks like many of those pictures you see. Ancona is newer, more bustling, and has the beautiful sea. I know you’ll enjoy life in Ancona!

It’s wonderful to have you back online. I’ve missed your posts. Congrats on making it through the first two phases of your journey (fund-raisint and language school). May God’s Kingdom be blessed by you in Ancona.
