Some special messages...

Hey, Dante... here's dad in front of Dante's home in Florence. We have some more 'Dante' related pics, but you'll have to wait till we get home to see them. Ciao

Alex... thanks for the notes... yep, there will be stories to tell. There are probably enough to last for the rest of the semester.

Mrs. Totino - Thanks for all the comments and wishes. We think you win the prize for the most frequent commentator. Grazie

Mrs.Bellissimo... not withstanding the note to Alex above, you are reminded of the axiom of the US Army - "Don't ask - Don't tell." Va bene?

and Mr. Trabona... thanks for your notes, too. Just a warning... you'll have to return to MCSS to cook on next Pancake Tuesday with some Italian attire that will be coming back with us.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. Just remember March 19th. (BTW - we had zeppole in Pompei. Mmmm!)
