THE ADVENTURES OF CICADA'S TRAVELS AND FOOD FINDS: 01/2007

THE ADVENTURES OF CICADA'S TRAVELS AND FOOD FINDS

All my life I wanted to live in Europe and I got that chance when I joined the Military and my first assignment was to Italy. I got a life time opportunity to live in a small town called "Aviano" in the early 80's and then again the military sent me back overseas to an Island called "Sicily' and that's where I meet my Prince Charming and a fairy tail was born. Now 14 years later, together we come back to the magical land called "Italy" where dreams and fairy tails come true !

part of the Amalfi Coast

I found this cherry tree by accident while waiting for the castle to open up in Vicenza

The best winery in all of Italy

I had a dream to some day return to Aviano Italy. It has taken me 23 year to get back and in that time my land lady, Sabina passed away. But her son is still alive along with her daugter who owns and runs this bar where we had a pizza and got to talk to Jacamo. He has not changed very much except the gray hair. How it was an honor to see him again
