A Day without Heat.

We woke up this morning late -- 10 A.M., the jet-lag still has us -- and soon realized that the heating system in the house had failed, along with the hot water source. The neighbor helped us try a few fixes, but eventually we had to make a date with the repairman.
He wouldn't make it until tomorrow morning, though, so we headed into Lucca for some shopping; cousin Gabriella joined us and we all went out for pizza afterwards.
It's turned quite cold,and we saw much hoar-frost in the mountain villages between here and Lucca. It's hovering around freezing by the early evening, and also damp, so we're struggling for the right clothes combinations that will make walking around outside comfortable. There may be additional fleece vest in the offing for me...
