We primarily went for the Formula 1 race in Monza [a fabulous sport that I'm totally getting hooked on]. It confirms that NASCAR is just a bunch of rednecks. Yep - I said that too. I have *never* experienced anything as LOUD as F1. And the mix of nationalities was great!
We met people from Finland, Sweden, England, Scotland, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, Brazil, a handful of Americans from Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco, and Italy of course. So fun! We're going again next year to Belgium and probably Canada too. Weather was great and we did a bit of sightseeing too around Milan and Lake Como.

Tara is doing suprisingly well. Been tracking her coughing and she didn't cough a single time while we were gone. Since we've been home, she's done it 3 times. Just tracking and keeping an eye out to determine if/when we have to drain her chest again. Her weight seems to be fluxuating a bit though. Some days she eats and some she doesn't. Picky pup.
