Metal Detecting

My husband has been waiting for the big wave. Maybe he should go down to Indonesia, they have been getting some big ones there lately. He has two metal detectors that just don't work the same as they did when he bought them. "More power" as Tim the Tool Man would say. They just weren't given the right amount of juice. So now they are "better" but the beaches are too mineralized and they squack like crazy. After a storm go through town, the beaches curn up stuff and that is the optimal time to go out and look... But we are having great weather and my husband is dancing around like he's got ants in his pants. Oh well, I am sure then next big storm will be coming around soon. Can't be dry forever.
My pup seems to like sitting in my arms while I am at the computer. I must admit that I too like it as he keeps me warm. Today is not a very eventful day as I will be studying for most of it. The sun is strong and warm, and suspect it will be that way until September and even beyond. Winter is definately over.

Nettuno Italia

This is my first post and would like to say hello to everyone out in the world. At this moment I have a sleeping dog in my arms which makes it difficult to type anything, so I will let you know how things are going later on. If anyone has a specific question about life here in Nettuno, go ahead and ask and I will try to answer it as best as possible.
I am a Canadian who uprooted herself to marry a man half way across the world. We met on the internet in a chat room and got to know each other over 5 months. We decided to meet and it was love at first sight. After another 4 months, I organized myself to return to him so that we could marry. A year after meeting we were married and happy. From Calgary to Nettuno my new life began. Nettuno is about 90km south (well relatively south) of Rome along the coast. I live about 400 metres from the water in a condo. My husband (whom is Italian) works at a local factory as an operator and I am a student, studying Business Administration (as well as Italian). We have a dog by the name of Yuma (I found the name on a list of Native Americans. It means "the son of an Indian chief") who is a very energetic Zwergpinscher (min pin). We just recently finished with Easter, and of course that means food, food and more food. Man I love their cooking.
