Rocca Di Tropea**-***

... I have plently of socks at home and will be home soon anyways, just wash them in the sink geez!). I ruined a few pairs at the farm, and others have worn holes through, so I decided to be thrifty and ask for a needle and thread. I fixed a loose button, and sat sewing my holey toes, laughing off Zia Tina's offers to do it for me. No no I say, I have a Nonna who sews, she showed me! That was enough to be given permission to continue. Nonna's sewing skills are legendary ...

... I have many pictures to post when I get home, it's just breath-taking.<br> <br>But I am getting by, Anna took me to Vibo Centre yesterday, to go shopping, because as she tells me, everyone in her family comments about how she always gives money away so freely.... because of how much shopping she does!<br>I will admit, I have been taken to the mall here three or so times now, and I have not allowed myself to shop ...

... fruit tree which grows there. This is an area for beach holiday combined with hiking, climbing and rafting in the Pollino Mountains.

... Carere, Vadala, and even Ferraro to name just a few. It was a wonderful feeling to be so far away from home, but feel like you were just around the corner. We sat and drank from the fountain in the main square that I had heard stories about from relatives playing there as kids, and we got to see the balcony behind that fountain where my grandfather grew up. After hearing tales about San Giorgio Morgeto for 30 years, it felt absolutely ...

... Story of San Michele - I read it many years ago and bought a copy for Giuliana, which I pinched back from her temporarily and re-read. Our next stop was the Amalfi coast, on the southern side of the promontory from Sorrento. This is possibly the most spectacular coastline in the world - it's a continuous series of indentations with cliffs dropping straight into the sea and is studded with beautiful little towns (don't expect any long sandy beaches). Hotels and restaurants ...

Tropea is a seaside town that is not really on the international tourist circuit. However it is a tourist hot spot for Italians. Gianluca recommended that we go there so Dad and I stopped there on the way down to Sicily. It was absolutely incredible! The water was crystal clear blue, the beaches covered in soft white sand and there was a rock shelf that you could jump off into the water ...

... Italian or wish to learn Italian. The Italian language reflects what Italy is today: a country greatly changed and still transforming, a country that is not what is used to be nor as picturesque stereotypes would have it; a country with positive sides and contradictions too that just keeps on charming tourists from all over the world!

Now all we need is some inspiring music similar to "The Hunt for Red October" and that would start out this entry in good fashion. Our day began leaving Sorrento and hopping on the A3 Autostrada heading south towards Reggio Di Calabria, our final destination where we would catch a ferry towards Sicily. This would be a "free" day of sorts and Danielle's plan was to stop in Tropea to spend the night in a hotel so we didn't ...

Estas fotos son muy especiales porque son de mi primer visita a la hermana de mi bisabuela en Santo Onofrio un pueblo muy chiquitito y humilde de donde salieron los Virdo (familiares paternos). Mucha emocion en la visita y la sorpresa de saber que la hermana de mi bisabuela murio con record de longevidad a los 106! Hasta desde el Vaticano le enviaban saludos.
