 It will take you quite a bit of time to find the right location and the right property for you. Take it easy and don't rush. Some areas are quite expensive in Italy. If you are looking at the Amalfi Coast, it has always been prime real estate and this will not change even with a recession. Was your family originally from that area?
 A bit ambitious and hectic, but you can still make it. Lucca is really worth a full day. You have to park outside the walls. There is a handy parking lot to the right of the train station and you will find the Porta San Pietro, which is excellent to access the city, about 200 yards away.Enjoy your trip!
 Yes, Gromit, our weasels are about 8 inches long. They look a bit bigger when they are swimming because of their tails. But larger birds like the ducks or even some water rats keep away from them and they simply disappear the minute they show themselves. Their reaction shows that they are scared.
Hello Catherine and welcome to the  Community. Best wishes regarding your future plans.
 Congratulations to all. I'm glad that the weather decided to cooperate. A great achievement you can be proud of.
Welcome back, Pauline. Good to see you in the Community.Â
Ciao Marco. Benvenuto.Â
Yes, Ron, we have done the same thing, also with homes in Spain, France and Italy. All very interesting experiences and all different. Good luck with the bougainvillea, I am sure that it will thrive in Northern Tuscany providing you plant it in the right spot.Â
 Ciao Maria, benvenuta.Â
 Russ is right, the weasels we have are real predators and you can see that they are feared by other small animals who may become their prey. I observe them from my window and everyone leaves the minute the weasels appear, even if I am feeding everyone some bread. But they are very pretty to watch. They also like to eat crusts of bread.
