Aviano is so beautiful. The buildings are gorgeous and we have amazing views of the mountains surrounding us everywhere we go. The weather is perfect. It was 73 today and coming from Arizona's triple digit heat, I am loving it.

The food...oh the food! Is absolute heaven! Robbie has already said he could live here forever just bc of the food. Lol
My first night here we got pizza. I wanted to order something out of the ordinary so I went with a pizza that had potatoes and sausage on it. They have some crazy pizzas here, like French fries and hot dogs for toppings. Haha

After dinner Robbie and I walked from our hotel to a cafe that has gelato.

I really love where we are staying because it is close to the base but we can walk around to nearby restaurants. Our sponsors have to drive us around a lot because we are off base but they might have temporary housing available soon.
The first night I was here I tried drying my hair with my blow dryer...bad idea! Although I had a converter it was not strong enough. I blew the whole hotel in .0765678 seconds lol. We were stuck in the dark and w no AC for the night because we couldn't get the breaker working. The next day was Sunday and the office worker was not in but luckily he came back that night and helped us. He took one look at my dryer and said," Yeah don't do that again". He was so sweet he even gave me a blow dryer to borrow that works over here. All the Italian people we have met so far have been really nice. They are all willing to help you pronounce the words and teach you things about Italy.
Sunday we slept late. We didn't roll out of bed until 11! I never sleep that late but I was out all night. I didn't sleep much on the 10 hour plan ride to Germany and then I had a 5 hour lay over and I took a cat nap on the hour flight into Venice but I guess I caught my second wind because I wasn't that tired. I think traveling during the day and technically staying up all night (AZ time) and getting here in the evening helped me because the jet lag has not been bad and I've caught on to Italy time quick.
Today we went to the right start briefings the Air Force provides to get us started here. It was just a ton of info on health care overseas, house hunting, getting an Italian drivers license etc. It was information overload. Tomorrow we should get our licenses. Although, I am pretty scared to drive here. The Italians drive really fast and will just go around you if you're going to slow. There aren't many street lights but round abouts which I hate. I told Robbie I'll just ride my bike everywhere! Haha hopefully I get used to the roads here.
We are very anxious to start house hunting. There are so many adorable homes to look at. We should hopefully be doing that Wednesday and Thursday.
I am missing my puppies like crazy and hoping they will be joining us soon!
I have spent the first 2 days just enjoying myself and the food. I love that we do a lot of walking tho. Today I still didn't get to the gym but I kept it healthy and we didn't eat out at any Italian places (even tho Robbie tried for gelato lol). I plan on indulging and trying everything just not everyday! I can't wait to be active here! It is just so amazing!
Here are some more pics from the last few days of EATING! haha
