Anthony;s Day
After a wonderful meal last night we woke to a day in the birthplace of Anthony's mother.
First let me tease you with details of last nights dinner. We went for the degustation menu and were not disappointed. We started with bruschetta and bread drizzled with olive oil, both lightly toasted. followed by antipasto, then fettuccine with a butter and porcine mushroom sauce. Gnocchi with truffle sauce followed. Next came lamb on ...

Old narrow streets not made for cars
After checking out of Gusmay, we drove on the autostrade north to Pescara. The country side was the typical olive trees and vineyard landscape. Beautiful and John loved going fast (150kph) with drivers that know how to drive. Then, thanks to Laurie, we made it to Loreto Aprutino, but couldn't find the hotel and ended up driving down a narrow road in this tiny ...
