This is my last day in Soriano for this trip. Things didn’t happen as quickly as I had hoped, so I extended my stay 3 days.  In about an hour I will close up the house one more time and say goodbye until my next trip (which is looking like Christmas).

In these two weeks, much has been accomplished, however.  The homes are fully outfitted, with the exception of a few small things that can be done while I am away.  The satellite service is up and running, but the dishes won’t be installed until next week.  The DSL is ‘on the way’, and at least one of the computers is installed (the other blew up, so I need to send a replacement).

I’ve hung pictures, bought knick knacks, installed air conditioning, bought new furniture, coffee machines, dishes, silverware, etc. etc. etc.   I have to say that the places look awesome!

The funny thing is that before we outfitted the apartments, everyone was in love with ‘Il Ponticello’, and there has been little interest in ‘Vecchio Forno’.  Looking at them now, while they are both breathtaking, Ponticello doesn’t hold a candle to Vecchio Forno.

Anyway, I’ll write more about the two weeks here when I get settled back in California.
