Italy

In February we traveled to Milan, Italy, to visit our dear friends Silvia and Stefano, and their two kids Anna and Marco (7 months old now).    [[[ We also saw Silvia and Stefano in 2002, both in Italy and Switzerland. ]]]

Anna is about 18 months older than John, and the two of them have no common language, but they played beautifully together the whole weekend - running around, playing hide-and-seek and chase-me, and generally being kids.  Marco couldn't participate too much in the game playing, but he was adored by the other 3 kids (in addition to the four adults).

What to do in sunny Italy in February?  What else but take advantage of a freak snowstorm and go sledding!
