Ah Frank, better late than never! And to the fears and twinges, remember yin and yang. Can’t have one without the other. And one makes you appreciate the other. Word

I think Frank is right……you are right, also!! There are many places to see and you have many talents. Wherever you choose to be I just want you to be happy doing what makes you feel the best……you are the best, you know!!
Italy certainly has brought out the best in you! Frank is very wise!

Thanks, Frank. I’m blushing. Just a little.

No worries. This is just my first leap. I’m fairly certain there are more to come. I’ll be back to Commune di Barga. In the mean time more adventures await in Idaho, Hawaii, Australia, and beyond. My time here has been damn good, though – thanks in no small part to the good folks here (you included) who have made me feel so welcome.

You definitely made the right dessert choice. Tiramisu was invented in Venezia (some claim the inventor was actually the pastry chef at the Madonna). Its name is Venetian dialect for “Pick me up!” , the implication being that it restores your energy after a heavy meal. Until the 1960s, believe it or not, you couldn’t find it anywhere but La Serenissima Repubblica Veneziana. Then it took the world by storm.

Wonderfully atmospheric piece K. Your Italian travelogue gets better and better. Seems to me and quite a few other Barghigiani that you shouldn’t be leaving, what with a promising literary career underway, although I have a feeling Dad and Big Mama won’t agree.
