Over the past couple of days we have been fortunate to meet up with some friends we made in 2019. Antonio was a classmate of Ethan, and his dad, Simone, and Dave talk almost every day over WhatsApp. (The rest of the world uses WhatsApp to communicate as their text system.) We met up with their whole family on Monday evening for gelato and a giro (walkabout) in the evening. It was fantastic to see them and hear about the kids' musical endeavors. Antonio and his sister sing in a choir that has traveled through Europe, most recently Croatia. They also let Ethan know that the fountain in the Prato is off because of the recent drought. They got very little snow over the winter, so the reserves are down.

Tuesday evening we got to see Alberto's family for dinner and gelato. Alberto was a classmate of Ben's, and we got together to play Ticket to Ride while we lived here. Alberto has been busy with fencing, and is leaving in the next few days to go to a sailing camp near Trieste. He just finished his exams to get in to high school.
We also had an aperitivo (pre-dinner drink) with our former landlord, and have plans to see another of Ben's classmates and his family tomorrow.
