Rebecca's ruminations

Rebecca and the boys

In 2003 Rebecca began writing a series of essays for the Slow Travel website, documenting her experiences as a transplanted American city girl to the Umbrian countryside.

Though the birth of her two sons and her growing business have limited her writing time, she still tries to publish a new article every month (or two!).

Her musings are reproduced here.
