Yes, we're back. A bit jet lagged, but getting right back to work will cure that.
Our last three stops were quite busy.
From one of the reasons we ended up in this region in the first place.
We loved this city.
To the city that was once the Western Capital of the Roman Empire. With eight UNESCO world heritage sites and the most stunning mosaics we've encountered in our travels.
Even under water!
There were times when we were struck speechless……
And we had one of our favorite meals of our trip here.
And our final stop. A vibrant city….with the oldest University in Europe. There's a mixture of young and old here.
We went on a fantastic all day small group food tour. On which we learned so much.
This was an amazing vacation.
So give me a bit of time to regroup.
And I still lost about a dozen pounds….so don't be calling me "Lardo".
Thanks for reading!
welcome back!
Thanks Kat!
What a lovely trip. I’m trying to figure out where you were in Italy. Sienna, Ravenna, Bologna?
I’m tempted to keep you guessing Christina! ;o) But it was Parma/Ferrara/Modena/Bologna/Ravenna – with visits to Piacenza/Bobbio among others.
Welcome back! The architecture reminds me of Dan Brown books.
It was pretty impressive Junichi. Much more than what I anticipated.
Wow, the cure meats!
Amazing salume….just amazing, Billy!
We’ve been thinking of going back to Italy to check out Modena and Bologna, both worth it? The food was awesome? We keep throwing out a trip back to Italy, checking out Spain, or going to Mexico City this fall.
Hi Christina – If you love Salume and Parmesian, and like traditional hand made pasta simply adorned you may like Emilia Romagna. If you go, I’d also recommend a food tour. We really enjoyed our time in the area…we are thinking about returning.
Welcome back! Looking forward to your posts!
Thanks CC!
