• Julia’s first Night in Italy

    October 15 in Italy ⛅ 66 °F

    Julia traveled a very long way to come and spend time with me on this trip.

    She traveled from Dallas to Rome and took a train from Rome to Florence. This was her first time in Italy. I hope she had as much fun as I did.

    We went to a highly recommended restaurant and it was well deserved. We had to stand in line which was expected. What wasn’t expected is they comped champagne for everybody in line. Osteria Pastella is famous for their cheese wheel pastas. Where you take a Parmesan cheese wheel and you light it up to melt it and throw the pasta in it and serve it. I’ll right at your table. It is a production. We were both exhausted from traveling and we got to see the cheese alight but we didn’t think to order it ourselves. I’m disappointed that that opportunity slipped through my fingers.

    The video you see of Julia arriving that’s the last several steps in the 60 steps to get to the apartment steps.

    It was so lovely to see her and spend time together
