| | As those of you that know us already are aware, we absolutely
love it here. The people are wonderful, the food is wonderful, and we
usually do not find ourselves wanting for much. We've managed to pick up a
bit of Italiano here and there, and we find that if we make an honest effort,
most of the Italians know enough English that between the two of you, you can
usually get a conversation across just fine.
We, obviously chose to live in La Maddalena, mostly because this is where we
found a house. We believe that we'd be just as happy if we lived in Palau,
however. There's much to be said for both sides. The obvious
advantage to LaMadd is the social life, what with the Piazza Umberti being so
accessable and so popular.
So many people have sent me Email asking questions about living in La
Maddalena that I started a FAQ page. My email
backlog for this page was getting crazy (I have 120 unanswered emails in my
inbox.) Don't get me wrong, we enjoy the email, but you may need to
expect a time delay in answering your email. Anyway, you're probably
better off checking
the sponsor team FAQ page here for answers. This is their job
and their love in life, and therefore are actually likely to answer them if you
contact them. (draw your own conclusions from that on time for ME to
answer you...)
