Sammi in Italy!! (Part 2)

March 9, 2011--Okay this is a little embarrassing! I started the blogs about Sammi last summer with great intentions to finish once I came back from taking her home. As you can see, that never happened. In fact--I haven't even looked at the blog again. So here it is--part two!

After Rome, we took Sammi to many of the small towns around Belforte. Here are a few:








Frontino





















Urbania











A little festa in Belforte with "I gemelli" Primo and Paulo playing.
















Patrizio trying to dance with Sammi--turns out he doesn't really know how to dance anything other than the salsa!!









Then we went to Siena and Florence for a couple of days.





Here is Sammi in "Il Campo" (Siena) where they hold the palio.


















Me and Sammi eating lunch. Sammi is toasting us with a glass of wine--OK, she didn't really taste it and neither did I! That was Larry's wine.









We drove to Florence and spent the day.








Sammi with Florence in the background.


















Sammi over the River Arno.










Back in our neck of the woods.





This is what a firefly looks like.





















From the mountain town of Sassocorvaro looking over the "lake" in Mercatale.











Primo, Paolo, and Carlo hosted a pizza party for Sammi. They were kind enough to let her help make the pizzas!





Sammi with the twins.



















You start with a rolling pin:














Then you use your hands!















Add some sauce.





















Pop it in the oven!











Finish by eating 10 pieces from 10 different types of pizza!












I had hoped to finish with this blog, but I can see that it would be WAY too long, so now on to Part #!!
