Hi Rebecca,
Well done!! We are both delighted to hear of your new job/jobs…..we are particularly delighted to hear of the iphone app which will be of great value to us and to our guests here in Italy.
From the very first time we met you at Brigolante and your continuing friendship, we have loved following your blog. We will indeed download your app (which we hope is available on our Australian phone) and look forward to hearing more terrific news about our favorite part of the world.
Ci vediamo a Gualdo
Marilyn & Barry

Rebecca,
Love your ramblings and congrats on Umbria App.. I just spent another Christmas in Assisi and of course had your app. way before I knew you had anything to do with it. Yes, I am an American who loves this country but considers Umbria a close second. Love the people and the beautiful country, food is fabulous and the people in Assisi are the most friendly and kind I have met in all of Europe.

Love your stories on Expat site……I know being a transplant is not that easy but I believe you have done the best anyone could do…making the most of the situation. God Bless You! Pace e bene

Dear Rebecca, I cannot tell how happy I am to work with you, not only because of the fun of doing things together (it felt so lonely before) but also because you are inspiring to me, as a writer, as a woman, as a mother. I really look up to you.

Thank you for reminding me I won the lottery with this job – sometimes I’m so overwhelmed with social network restless interaction, the posts I have to wright by 11 o’ clock in the morning (inspired or not), and the freaking analytics curves, that I lose sight of a fact: this is a dream job.
Thank you for this post, and I look forward to be out there with you again, collecting contents, photos, good laughs and very nice memories.

Rebecca, Congratulations! You are living my dream! I’d be jealous, but as you said in the beginning of your post, I could only be envious if you were undeserving. You are a talented writer and I am very happy for you. Looking forward to meeting you soon. (I’ll be back in Orvieto on November 28). Hugs.Toni

At last the rest of the world is discovering what some of us have known for a long time – you’re funny, very funny, and sometimes informative too. OH, and a great writer. So congratulations not so much to you, but for the rest of the world for finally recognizing your talent(s)! And thanks for taking the time to write about someplace we love too – Umbria!
