Today was our first day in Italia. We left yesterday around noon with a connection in Philadelphia. As the past couple of trips didn't afford us any time in Roma, this trip we decided it was time to make it part of the itinerary. We are lucky to be traveling not only with our Mama, but with her brother and our nephew. For them it is their first trip to Italia. We are excited to see what our Uncle thinks of the "old country" as he grew up hearing the stories from his parents. We are also excited to see what our nephew thinks of his heritage. Taking trips like this to the home country, is so special. It is a joy to bring new people here to share our heritage, customs and culture. Of course, my brother, mother and I are so happy to see our relatives once again and share the events that have transpired over the past year. Family bonds are close ties that bind us all together.
Later on we will head to Orsara and begin our culinary tour!
Wish you were all with us on this splendid journey.
