Italy- September 3, 2005

We are enjoying our time Italy. Last night we had dinner a great place in Siracusa, Sicily. It was called Don Carillo. Joe was in his glory. We were eating inside of wine cellar filled with Italian wines. Also, there was an entire page of veal dishes! Needless to say we are enjoying the food and wine here.

One of the highlights of the trip has been meeting Joe's relatives in Italy! We spent 3 days in Cosenza, a town near San Filiipi were Joe's relatives live. We met the family of Joe's grandmother's sister.

We had a wonderful time together with Bendetto, Loridona, their son Paulo, Aunt Paulina, Loridonna's parents, Aunt Carmella and Uncle Manuel.

Will keep you posted.

Love,

Joe, Sandy, Sarina and Amber
