I updated Hotshots yesterday with lots of interesting tidbits. 

• If you’re interesting in seeing what an Italian wedding is like, check out Donatella & Giampi’s Wedding Album.
• For highlights of the Crane Family Christmas 2005 / New Year’s Eve 05-06 in Santa Monica:  Xmas ’05, etc.
• Never heard of the Aosta Valley?  Experience it vicariously.
• Don’t try this at home: picnicking in March in a muddy field.
• Didn’t make it to Torino for the Olympics last year?  See the aftermath.
• Do you know Matt Kenny?  If you’re interested in his discovery of the Langhe (where I live) or want a glimpse of the new Badellino family mountain house, check out Matt & the Mountains, an assemblage of photos from Summer 2006.
