big head on my arm, while we talk about motherhood and the births of our babies.
I tell her so proudly that my baby, at nine and a half pounds, was the biggest one in the hospital. We listen to the chickens clucking and a rooster crowing to announce the day.
We rarely see Carl, who has never been to Europe before and rushes off, thrilled to visit the sights. He falls for Italy at first sight. He seems so energetic, impatient, and enthusiastic, rushing off for day trips from Rapallo to visit Genova, Portofino.
Michael is less enthusiastic about touring. He was dragged through Europe, going from one small hotel room to another with his mother as a little boy. Lonely, unable to sleep, she woke him often in the night just to talk to him.
My mother-in-law is often ill and has sought a cure for her asthma in Switzerland. As a young boy, Michael was sent to Le Rosey, a fancy school for rich boys in Rolle, where they drank wine with their meals. In Rapallo Michael prefers to lie on his bed and read Jane Eyre.
