Porta!


This is the door to our apartments building! With the little man with the mustache that looks over us!






















I love the architectural detailing on some of the doors I have come across! So I had to take pictures of them! Every single door is a work of art different from the other! Godere! Ciao!

PEACE & LOVE,

Nuvola!

Hazy day in Pontebba!


It's 12:00 in the afternoon! with the clouds and the mountains, looks much later, eh?



Italy is Colorful! Colorato!


I love all the ornamental gates! You will never find two that are exactly they same!


The fountain at the center of town with fresh mountain water!


There is a lot of Italian Architecture represented in many of the buildings! It brings me back to the first lesson of Design History class in college! This is where it all started here in Italy, with the arcade of roman arches, balustrade, cornice, keystones, and portico just to name a few!





The bells started chiming as I took this picture!



Love this Church I found on my walk!


Hope you enjoyed the pictures I took today of Pontebba! Ciao!

PEACE & LOVE,

Calcio!


Stadio Friuli is a beautiful stadium!


Warm-ups, they all just stood in a circle and tossed around the ball to each other! Looked fun!


Kevin and I!


Udinese (Black and White) vs. Palermo (Pink) :)


The Pink fans!




On Sunday the team was taken to see some Italiani di Calcio at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italia. The match was Udinese vs. Palermo. The most interesting and fun part of the game was watching the fans, they get so into the game! I loved Palermo's jerseys they were in PINK! Also, Kevin's grandfather was born in Palermo and that is his team, another reason to like Palermo! But everyone their was rooting for Udinese, they have not lost yet this season, just have gotten some ties though. I guess its common in soccer for both teams to not score one point during the entire game! It's a different game too they don't switch lines they stay out the entire game! They must get exhausted! Udinese ended up winning the game 1-0. Ciao!

PEACE & LOVE,

Vivo!

"The hills are alive with the sound of music."





Last Thursday we drove through Austria to get to Kevin's game in Balazono, Italy. Kevin live's right on the border of Italy and Austria. Although we got pulled over by the Polizia twice on our journey, Austria is such a beautiful country, the entire trip I felt like I was in a scene from "The Sound of Music". Here's a few pictures I shot, Kevin and I are going back today so I will be sure to take some more of the adventure! Ciao!

PEACE & LOVE,

Tarvisio!









Tommy and Mallory Goebel!








Six!


Kevin and I!





Cute store I found! Excited to do some shopping in Tarvisio!


Santa's for Mom!

Tarvisio is a ski town about 20 minutes away from Pontebba! It will be filled with tourists on vacation in the winter! A bunch of players from Kevin's team are living there, because there were no more apartments available in Pontebba! Other than skiing, Tarvisio is great for shopping! :) I am excited to go skiing this winter!


PEACE & LOVE,
