Arriva!

We have landed at the MILAN airport,  met our driver and had a two hour drive to Rapallo.
Our hotel is on the Gulf of Rapallo, Italia e Lido.  All of the rooms have a sea view.
 
 
After room assignments we had a prepared lunch. We started with a nice Vedmintino wine made in the region pared nicely with homemade, wide cut noodles all cut with different shapes; some bigger some smaller.  (Not sure how to spell the correct type pasta that was made).  The pasta was served in a mullet sauce. 
The second course was a rotini pasta made with pancetta and tomato. 
The third course was a baked cod in the style of the region.  It was served with an artichoke tort and mash potato, carrots with butter and mint.  Talk about a surprising combination. We ended the meal with a nice custard in caramel sauce. 


Tonight we will be going to visit Raffaello's father's home.  After such a grand welcome, it is time for a nap.  Ciao Tutti!
