Sognando d'Italia
About nine months out of the year I'm perfectly content where I am--Boston. But just as soon as the sleeveless shirts with a light sweater wrapped around the shoulders come out, and when I slice my first few in-season tomatoes for a caprese, I dream of Italy. Our co-worker Rachael just returned from 10 days in Tuscany, and it made me so jealous to hear about the villa they rented, and about the wine country they visited... Now I can't stop thinking of Italy. It's already been almost two years since our honeymoon in Lake Como, and I cannot wait to get back there. For now, I will keep pretending that "Little Italy" is Big Italy, and that in Italian conversations with the shopkeepers right here in the North End, I'm really in Verona.

You're so lucky to live in the North End! I think if we lived up there we would be poor (and fat) from eating out all the time. Yum!

that would definitely be my next dream vacation. one day...
you'll have to show me pix from lake como.
Brings back memories of our Hotchkiss Italian lessons with Mr. Demaray......if only I had stuck with them I'd know what Sognando d'Italia meant!!! I suppose I'll have to continue my ignorant American ways:) love you!!
