Our First day with the Aunties

Today we went to Voltera, for Mimi. Voltera is very high in the mountains in Italy, and it was a little scarey getting there, many sharp turns, hight hills and no guardrails on the mountains, but it was worth this all because it was beautiful! We parked in an underground garage and then rode the elevator up to the city. We went to a museum called the Etruscan museum, the Etruscans are the name of the people in Italy who lived here a very long time ago, even before Jesus! Can you see the box a person would be buried in, after they were cremated, in those times? They did not burry people like we do now. Since they did not have cameras, instead of a picture, they would have their face carved, do that people in the future could know what they looked like. This is called an effigy and some people would have it done when they were young so that their effigy would be cute. This one is called the lovers, but Auntie thinks they look mad at each other! What do you think?
Gogi and Auntie walked a lot so Poppy and Pippa had to have a break, here they are resting on a bench behind the museum. We stopped for coffee and a goodie, and look at Aunties beautiful heart on her Capuccino! We wanted Aunties goodie but she had to think about it a while, but she eventually shared with us, like a good girl! She even told us a secret, which I can not tell, or it would not be a secret. What is the secret? Well, she said if we were very good, we could have a goodie every day! It is o.k. to tell you the secret because Auntie says secrets are not good things. We should always be able to tell some one bigger than us that we trust. As we left town, there were all these people who live in Voltera here visiting in the evening before dinner. Look at Auntie being silly in the elevator on the way down.
We had to scold Auntie at dinner, because she was being silly rather than eating her dinner. Gogi had a Margarita (that is what they call cheese pizza here) pizza and Auntie had ham and mushroom, pizza and a glass of wine to drink which they shared with us, it was all very yummy!
When we got home we took a ride on the swing, both of them, the big girl swing and the little girl swing!
