To follow up to this, we visited Dr. Sibbald. He's great. I'd definitely recommend him.

Since last night, my daughter (age 7) has come down with a very high fever. Can anyone please recommend a good pediatrician in or near Palermo? I think we might need to try to see someone today. English speaking doc is a plus. Thank you.

Just wanted to give an update--Tatiana has been coming to our house twice a week and it's going really well. She plays card games with my daughter, has her draw pictures and describe them, gives her simple homework. They're talking about baking a cake (she's here right now). Tatiana is both...

Thanks so much for this. I'll send her an email and follow up here later with what happened.

Hey there. Just wanted to say hello. We're a family of four on sabbatical in BA until mid December. We're still getting our sea legs, but if anyone wants to meet up for a daytime coffee or maybe a beer in the evening, or if you have kids who might enjoy a playdate (our daughter is 7 and our...

Are kids welcome? We have two children (ages almost 9 and 7), and we just arrived last week from Providence, RI. We'll be here until mid December.
