Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and this vacation has been an
amazing experience. This Italian trip was much different than our visit in 1977
and 1987, where we focused our time in larger cities – Rome, Florence, Venice,
Pisa, etc. This vacation we focused our visit to smaller villages in the
province of Liguria, traveling by foot along the coast to almost 30 villages.
During this visit we experienced Italy’s natural beauty. We highly recommend
this trip for anyone wishing a similar Italian experience, and you can follow
our blog for information (2012 September and October).
Also, the reason
of the Italian visit was to attend the Abruzzo Homecoming Picnic (September 14-16).
This was an opportunity for me to revisit my home town of Villa Santa Lucia,
and a highlight was a visit with Saverio who bought my parent’s home. It was
quite an emotional experience for me to re-enter the home I lived in from
1950-56.
