Gajeta Gaeta

... the boys have become big fans of cafe latte and cappuccinos. The second time we tried it, chocolate syrup was added to it. Even better. We will try making some at home.

The boys with my two cousins collected fresh mussels that grown on the other side of the rocky wave breaker. Well that evening we did have another 3 hour supper of pasta with fresh mussel tomato sauce.

A slow day. The weather was sunny and hot. We reached a high of 36C for the day. After coffee and breakfast, we left for Monte Cassino with my cousins.

The Abbey of Monte Cassino and the Monastery was founded in 529 by St. Benedict on the remnants of a pre-existing Roman fortification on the top of Monte Cassino (Casinum in Roman). Over the centuries the monastery and the abbey were attacked and partially destroyed by various groups, and ...

Our regional train (less comfortable and slower than the EuroStar ES trains) from Rome to Casino left on time and arrived on time in mid-morning at the "Stazionne di Cassino". My two cousins, Franca and Rosetta, were waiting for us. They both live, with their families and my uncle Abel, in a suburb of Cassino, Cervaro. They live more in the countryside and are surrounded by beautiful ...

... mother would dress him in the habit of a Franciscan monk, and expressed a desire for him to enter the clergy. He was then given the nickname of Fra Michele Archangelo. However, in 1797 he fled Itri, to avoid prosecution for a murder that he had committed, and consequently took up the life of a bandit or brigand. His name was then transformed to Fra Diavolo meaning "Brother Devil".

... little town is extremely popular with the well heeled Italian visitors from the city of Rome, particularly during the month of August, or on sunny summer weekends, when they flock to the seaside to escape the city heat.

However out of season Sperlonga reverts to a sleepy, peaceful setting for a relaxing Italian holiday, because, as yet, this very special place is still comparatively undiscovered by international ...

This region of SOUTH LAZIO is so rich in natural beauty, history and culture and is noted for its temperate climate, and rainless summers. To complement the beautiful mountain scenery there is a truly spectacular coastline, with numerous sandy shores ...

While in Italy, I traveled to Naples for High School. This made it difficult to do much outside of school as we spent so much time on the bus. I was, however, heavily involved in Boy Scouts. Scouting was almost non-existent when we got there so our family worked to build a pretty good program. I think this helped me ...
