Florence, ItalyPhoto by Katie Greenaway
On this snowy Sunday in Nebraska, I am certainly dreaming of a beautiful blue sky over bella Italia. I know I am not the only one this morning having those types of dreams! While I dream of the Amalfi Coast, there are many travelers, writers, and expats out there dreaming of different parts of Italy and the world. I started this snowy Sunday as I often do, with a tour around the blogosphere visiting my favorite sites. That tour isn’t complete without a stop at Katie Greenaway’s lovely blog Olio di Oliva e Sogni di Vino. Translated as “Olive Oil and Wine Dreams,” she writes about her passion for Italy, language and wine. All great things if you ask me!
Katie dreams of Florence as I do of the Amalfi Coast. One visit for each of us and it was love! Katie is a freelance writer (and so much more!) and has lived in Florence as a student, tourist and au pair. With her EU citizen now in hand, she is planning her next adventure to Florence! Katie is also a very talented photographer. Here is one of her stunning shots of the Piazza Ognissanti in Florence:

Stop by her blog Olio di Oliva e Sogni di Vino or her personal site Katerinafiore and find links to her great writing around the web. Get ready to dream!
You are not far from me here in the Flatlands. I can certainly understand missing the blue skies of Italy. Our weather has been so topsy turvy, you can’t get settled into a groove…spring or winter?
They are predicting light snow tomorrow and I have my fingers crossed that once that passes we can quickly slide into a full on spring mode.
Have fun in Nebraska. Enjoy what the midwest has to offer (and that will vary greatly depending on what city you are in).
Ciao Pyzahn! Yes, the weather has been a bit crazy here. Snow on Sunday and almost 60 degrees yesterday. I will take the latter! Hope the snow missed you! I am enjoying time with my family, and I am here in central Nebraska in time to see the tail end of the sandhill crane migration. That is always an amazing experience, and is certainly one of the highlights of Nebraska. Hope spring arrives where you are soon!
