I have died and gone to Italy heaven!! This whole trip so far has been amazing. Flew 1st class. Had my own 'pod' all by myself that reclined to full horizontal. Didn't have to bother anyone when I wanted to get up. Had to pay a little extra but being a 9 hr. flight made it all worth while. I spent from 5pm until now, almost 11 pm at a villa on the Tyronian Sea with Miriam (German wife) and her gorgeous husband, Roberto, his parents, sister, her husband and a few other family members all talking up a storm in Italian and cooking fresh zucchini with anchovies and capers, eating cheese and figs that Miriam picked this afternoon from her trees. We drank some kind of homemade wine and lemon cello. And the kids! there was I think 6 all 6 and under running around speaking Italian. It was wild! I already told Miriam that I will never want to leave. And we (her and I) have to do all the cooking for the wedding inside the palazzo of this 1492 castle owned by Roberto's grandmother, the baroness who also lives here... I am staying in one of the rooms of the B+B and loving all of it. Have to keep the windows closed so the bats won't come in. So much more. I have to stop-exhausted!
