Good times in Frascati

April 28, 2023

The first day of the trip is always tough as we try to fight off sleep and adjust to the new time zone. We had a nice lunch at a little restaurant then drinks and dinner at Cacciani; one of our favorites, founded in 1922. Today, we drive to Cortona for our tour of Tuscany.

Our long awaited return to the homeland

We arrived back in Italy today after a 4 year unplanned break. It is bitter sweet to return without our dear Mum but I know she would want us to continue to enjoy this amazing country. She and Pop are here with us in spirit.

We flew into Rome and are spending our first night in Frascati with a visit to Cacciani, a tremendous restaurant that Pop discovered 50 or more years ago. It has been here since 1922.
