Makes me want to go to Italy and see some of the "finds" you found. Great read, almost felt like I was there with you

Oh loved your adventure. Only you can bring forward what I would love to search. What an exciting time. I have been to Italy and it is beautiful. I picture the places where I visief with about 30 other people. Oh Annette so beautiful and exciting. Once in a lifetime a dream come true. 💕❤️

Tangible, these images you write. Palatable, like a chef’s taste of your motherland, teasing us into wanting more. Great piece, so happy you’re finding this slice of yourself in Italia.

I love how you savored "every little thing". And smiled at the toll plaza, remembering my experience at one in France (no speedpas then and no clue how much to throw in). Love being able to travel with you through your words

It’s seems everyone has a toll or turnpike story! Even at home, I panic! Thanks for the compliments. I am mostly just reliving it through words!!

Enjoyed reading another one of your Abruzzo stories. Walking down the streets of our ancestors was so incredible. It’s hard to put on paper. You did a great job explaining some of our feelings.

Thank you. I’m sure I’ve kept writing to find some way to articulate all of it. But perhaps somethings are better left unsaid!
