Finding Fun Again
“Broccoli volcano.” The definitive voice of the two-year-old on my back made me pause before my next glute-enhancing step. We were hiking up the Gra de Fajol on the Spanish side of The Pyrenees Mountains, and I was focused on putting one foot in front of the other with 17kg of squirmy child on my back and a full bladder. Despite my evident discomfort, I couldn’t help but smile bemusedly as I tried to decipher what on earth my daughter was talking about.

Becoming Italian
Author's preface. There are a number of websites selling services to assist in the process of obtaining Italian citizenship by Jure Sanguinus. As I researched this article I noted that many had serious errors with respect to the requirements that must be met in order to qualify. Buyer beware, as with many things, the quality of information and help available online varies widely. Best option for things like this is to go directly to the source. In this case that is the government of Italy, and the best access point for that resource is your local Consulate General of Italy.
