Last month, when we put out the word that we were looking for bilingual co-bloggers, we didn’t quite know what to expect. But so far, more than a dozen of you have gotten in touch to say that (a) you dig our schtick, and (b) you’d consider joining our mission in a language other than English.

Next week we’ll be introducing our first non-English partner in crime. You’ll know him as Pap Arazzo. We know him as a fabulous American transplant living in Florence who has a nifty sense of humor. (At least we think he’s funny; we only understand every third or fourth word.)

If you like the idea of joining our growing band of lunatics, and you speak French, Spanish, German, or one of those African click-sound dialects, drop me a line.
