It still feels like I just arrived here in Alba, and we're already moving. No that I can really complain...we're moving to a beach house on the Italian Riviera in Liguria. Can't be that bad! And we'll only be there for 2 1/2 months. But still, there are already a few things I am going to miss about Alba, this place that I have called home for 3 weeks now. 


The views here are incredible in every direction. From my backyard in the mornings, on a clear day, you can see the peaks of the majestic Alps all around. It snowed on them a few days ago and they were all white capped and beautiful! The scene takes my breath away. And the aromas here...when I walk outside I can smell the sweet scent of Nutella being freshly made in the Ferrero factory down the street. You have no idea how happy this makes me. There are roses and gardens everywhere. I have finally begun to find my way around and of course I already have a few favorite shops. I have been able to make some friends so far, and it is a little sad to leave them so quickly. But hey, they can always come visit me at the beach! :) 


So onward and upward. Off to a new place and a new adventure. Summer has officially begun!
