here we are again, back home and back to normal life after 2 weeks of winter holidays in a nice small village in Piemonte region, north east of Italy, close to the France border. There are lots of new cities up there that were born after the second half of the sixties when italians discovered the ski and all the other winter sports.
So, now it's part of our life style to spend at least a week every year in a ski place especially with kids to give them the opportunities to learn skiing and breath after a long school season or during the school season. Yes, I told during the school season because normally in every school around the end of jan and the 3rd week of feb the school organize a "white week"for the students - a kind of field trip for the whole class - or sometimes the school close or "slowdown"for a week to give to parents the chance to travel and ski togheter with their kids.
That's Italy and I love it.
