Michelle,  I just wanted you to know that I have thoroughly enjoyed following all your many adventures this past year!!  I just knew you would fall in love with Italy...and apparently love has found you as well!  The joy of corresponding with someone you love either through email or love letter is endless.  I know of what I speak as I currently have over two thousand emails between me and my current love that are as precious to me as anything.  Looking forward to next years adventures.
