The Trip Begins

For me, this trip started as a side-trip, an excursion added on to a repeat of the Meditation Retreat trip that I did last year in the Pyrenees.

Michael was the catalyst for all the wonderful adventure. I told him about Barcelona, the culture, the shopping, the golf... the FOOD!...  and he was hooked. We planned to do the trip together.

He decided that, since we were there, on the Mediterranean, we would have a dream cruise. And we did! aboard the Norwegian Epic! Fabulous! A floating city of 5000+ people. Even the food was top notch. We loved it!

Michael sprung on me a wonderful surprise!

A special tour through the Province of Avellino, to find where our ancestors came from.

And as I try to see what I can of them and their history,
what I see is the history of Italy, Boston, and many our personal histories, too!



What had begun as a side-trip, an excursion, has turned into an experience of time-travel!

Let's go!
