No where else captured by imagination like Italy. It was always there nudging me, talking to me, calling me. And on it went, into cookbooks, memoir, language, history. The Italian lessons continue to unfold and captivate me. It seems that the more you know, the more you want to know. Italy seems like an ocean in truth, far and wide, deep and reflective, and always spilling over the edges into my own beautiful and humble world.
