Town of Carmel

Big Party Day today!! We slept in a little and eventually set off in the big limousine for the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor in Mahopac. It was a lovely, scenic drive with lots of snow still around. It was a lovely venue and there were lots of people present to celebrate Zia Rosina’s 100th party. Great food – just like an Italian wedding! There was an entertaining band and loads of dancing. We met Patinella’s little brother and Zia Viola’s brother and Zio Ernesto’s sister. They all loved us and we were ‘entertainment’ for the locals. Zia Rosina managed to sing and also do quite a bit of dancing – amazingly!! We sat altogether with Tonino & Antonetta plus Libera & Silvano plus Lina and Tony Barone. They are going back to Italy tomorrow. So it was quite and emotional goodbye. Back home and relaxing, planning, contacting home etc. Unfortunately, Louise slipped down the stairs!! Okay so far.Les mer
