Last night I arrived at my new home in Bra, Italy and today I had my first day at my new job at the University of Gastronomic Sciences. It is like a dream come true.

I timed my arrival well because next week the city of Bra is hosting Cheese from September 21-24. There will be many tastings, workshops and a huge cheese market. White tents are already popping up all over the city in preparation for the arrival of cheese makers from the entire world. You can be sure I will be right in the middle of it!
