Bongiorno Italia!

Hello everyone!!!
Well, we made it! After a pretty smooth trip over, we are here and trying to adjust. The girlies were travel champs, and are now trying to acclimate to the 7 hour time change! Being up all night is hopefully going to change soon :)
The small town that we are in, Eppan, is nice. VERY different than anywhere in the U.S., but nice. Our apartment is nice also, with most of the amenities that we are used to. We have a decent size refrgerator, a small dishwasher, small washing machine (no dryer) and bathtub for the girls. Elliot has been sleeping in a big girl bed here because there is no crib, which has been a bit of a challenge, but not too bad.
Most of the people in Eppan speak German, but it doesn't really matter because we don't understand a word anyway ;) Although we've met a bunch of people who also speak some English, which is lucky for us.
Our place is not in the town, but up about a mile into the mountains. I wish we were within walking distance to some things, but our view is incredible. Here are a bunch of pictures of some travel, our place, and our view!
