One Hundred Years Later in Florence

After finding my roots in the tiny fishing village of Lacco Ameno, Ischia, I became a dual citizen and was beckoned to live in the country that my family had to abandon in 1904. They would never live to know that their dream would be fulfilled through their children. They would never live to know that a century and three generations later, the circle would be completed, returning one of their children back, to love as they never could, the land that was once theirs.

A Day in the Van

Today I joined Melissa and Hilary on a "day" bike tour from Florence to Torre a Cona. I spent the day in the van, observing the route, taking notes, and following Hilary, the bike tour guide, and their clients, to learn how they operate and what's expected from their tour guides. The clients are tourists who are looking for an escape from Florence into the Chianti countryside. I learned alot, and I'm looking forward to joining them again on Monday, this time with the tour guide, on a bike, to further explore the opportunity.
