Our last day in Orsara was filled with laughter, good food and excellent company.
We all went to St. Nicholas for mass. This helped start our day off.
It is always hard on the last day of such an amazing trip. But Peppe outdid himself!
We enjoyed a 5 hour lunch, a true "Abbaffata"... those long leisurely meals Italians are noted for. We feasted and tried to soak up all we could on this very last day.
Each participant gave us such insightful comments and thoroughly enjoyed their visit. What a treat to share this experience with those who came. Our relatives of Orsara embrace us and those we bring every year with open arms. Such blessings.
We will be home before we know it... Arrivederci Family, new friends, Peppe, Orsara and Italia! May we see you again and share more lovely moments over a good meal and nice glass of wine.
We are 2nd generation Italo Americans from the Puglia Region. Our story is like many Italo Americans brought together via tradition, laughter, family and food. Since we could walk, we were in our grandparents' gardens reaching for the prized "seed" tomato. The "tasty tomato" is our life force; metaphor for love, food, tradition, memories, comfort, the market, summer canning, harvest, celebration, and much more. Share our family traditions as we build upon the legacy of our Italian Ancestry.
Food Is...
Family, Tradition, Memories, Flavors, Gatherings, Laughter, Life, Vitality, Comfort...Love.
