Setting up a House in Guardia Sanframondi

There have been quite a few things going on in Guardia since I closed on my house.. all good!!

Our friends Melanie and Thomas have moved into their new home and are having a great time exploring and becoming part of the new community.  (I'm a bit jealous!!). 

Several other homes have sold to other Americans as the word gets out and people start arriving and falling in love with this special town. (plenty of houses for less than $40,000!)  Here is a link to the blog of my new friend and neighbor Laurie Agard, who purchased a house in Guardia recently.  It is so fantastic to see someone else's  story and see that is was just as magical for them!

My hero on the other side of the world (Pasquale Orso) is working on getting all of my utilities tranfered over for me, and having some issues convincing the electric company that Texas is not part of Mexico, as well as other difficulties, all part of the fun!.  I am looking forward to making a trip to Italy in the spring to get our home fully furnished and taking the entire family for a trip this summer. 

The amazing part of the journey for me and Laurie, is that there is always somebody on the other end to help us out and make everything work. I feel overwhelmed and by the good fortune and generosity that has been given to me.

I hope if any of you are looking for a place like this.. you will take a trip to Guardia Sanframondi Italy and look for Pasquale at The Tanna Del Orso  at  http://www.bborso.com/guardia.html .

Until next time, Ciao!
