Italian holiday


Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long since our last post. We had a great time on the farm in Genova, but were ready for a holiday after a month of work w no electricity or potable water. Luckily for us, mama and papa ashlock arrived in Italy on June 30. We have been traveling around Italy w them for the past week and a half, living like European royalty(thanks dad). We saw all the sites in Rome, ran into some friends from portland, ate at least 5 lbs of cheese a day, and even took an 18 mile bike trip around the outskirts of the city! Then we headed to moneglia on the coast near the cinque terre. There we just enjoyed the beauty of  the small towns and swam in the perfectly warm Mediterranean. We just arrived in Florence to see some more sites, then will have to say farewell to the elder ashlocks and head to Germany to our second farm. Below are some pics!
