Hello, dear Reader.  I invite you to join me in my most recent undertaking, The Italy Project: a chronicle of the next year and a half living in Southern Italy with my new husband. After a lovely wedding celebration and honeymoon in Colorado, Billy and I find ourselves in Pozzuoli, a port town about 20 minutes west of Naples. I arrive with no job, no real Italian language skills (more on both of those things later), and the pressing feeling that I have nothing and everything to do all at once.

This latest – and arguably greatest! – adventure could also justifiably be called The Marriage Project since I have about as much experience being married as I do living in Italy. No doubt that theme will also be explored in the coming months. I expect my entries will range from informative, anecdotal, and likely everywhere in between. Part travel blog, part journal. Come along for the ride!
