  1. The Kleijwegt Adventure Greetings from Italy

  2. We would like to share a photo album of our adventures so far. Wijwillengraageenfoto album met julliedelen van onzeavonturen tot nu. A street in Arezzo. Arezzo dates back to the Roman Empire and it is situated approximately 100km south from Florence. Michaelangelo was born in this district. We paid a visit to the frescoes of Pieradella Francesca which can be seen in the San Francesco church. They have recently restored the frescoes making them absolutely wonderful to see. Marc and I spent time with the girls explaining the entire story of the frescoes and how they were constructed which they thought was pretty impressive. Eenstraat in Arezzo. Arrezzogaatterug tot de Romeinen en ligtongeveer 100km ten zuiden van Florence. Michaelangelo is in de buurt van Arezzo geboren. Wijzijnooknaar de frescos van Pierodella Francesca geweest die in de San Francesco Kerktevindenzijn. Zewarenpas op nieuwgerestaureerd en ziener nu prachtiguit. Wijhebben het heleverhaal van de fresco’s uitgelegdaan de meiden die het ook erg indrukwekkendvonden.

  3. Arezzo lies on a fairly steep hill and the main buildings lie at the top of the hill. This allowed for quaint, and very narrow streets and side alleys to be built. Along the sides of the streets, store owners take great pride in making their stores look attractive. They would place lovely vases and flower pots outside which made the streets look warm and cozy. Italians also take pride in their coffee. We simply love drinking capuccino’s and one would always be surprised by a drawing, whether it be a smiley-face, a flower or a simple pattern made from powdered chocolate! Arezzo ligt op eenheuvel en de belangrijkstegebouwenliggenhelemaalbovenaan. De straatjeszijn erg nauw, maarwel erg gezellig. De winkeliersdoenechtmoeiteomhunwinkeltjesergezelliguittelatenzien.

  4. Life at the Villa Leven bij de Villa Not one day goes by that I remind my family how incredibly grateful we are to be here. The apartment we have is simple but has everything we need. The girls are sharing a room which they really enjoy. Quite often Marc and I hear them still chatting and giggling into the small hours of the night. During the day, the girls and I stay at home and work on their school work while I try to get some work done too. Their school work is going well and the fact that we can continue their schooling outside of the US using the Virtual School is quite something. Marc spends his days teaching and is enjoying it very much. His classrooms are in rather large rooms and some have been painted with murals which adds to the nuances of being in Italy. Ergaatgeen dag voorbijdatikaan Marc en de meidenzeg hoe dankbaarwijzijnomhiertezijn. Het appartementheeftalleswatwijnodighebben. De meidendeleneenkamerwatzijookleukvinden.

  5. If the weather is warm enough, we use this opportunity to have a picnic consisting of cookies and tea! Als her weerlekker is danmakenwijeen picnic met koekjes en thee. Ruby always gets the energy to run around and take in all that surrounds her. Amber on the other hand is the quiet observer who prefers to draw what she sees. Robijnkrijgtaltijdveelenergie en vind het leukomallesrondomhaar op tenemen. Amber is watrustiger en vindt het leukomallestetekenenwatzijziet. There is no other word for the food at the Villa but: delicious! Three meals are served per day. The lunch and supper are both hot meals which range from soups, pastas to salads. Er is geenanderwoordvoor het etenbij de Villa: Heerlijk! Driemaaltijden per dag wordengeserveeerd. ‘s middags en ‘s avonds is ersoep, pastas en salades die voor het opscheppenliggen.
