Once upon a time in Texas, there was a girl with an appetite and a dream...
There’s vesuvius, looming symbol of Naples. It stands as an anchor to the city, forever to remind us of the history it has made and the future it will surely affect…but hopefully, not anytime soon...

Does leaving your former life to live in paradise really need much explanation? I had a dream to live in Italy. After four years of teaching and almost as many summers traveling, I knew that something had to be done. I needed to cook every day with that fresh, locally-grown produce. I needed to connect with people who made their own wine and bought their whole chickens with the feet still on. I wanted to live in a culture whose inherent passion for gastronomy was not born of pretense, but of the knowledge that what is so fundamental to life should also be ENJOYED. This, for me, is the definition of "la dolce vita Italiana." While it may not always be sweet, it is always Italian.

Ah, Vesuvius, Pompeii, lunch in the mountains and a tour of the Amalfi coast. Fond memories. Tell the man hi. He looks like "the man" all serious and in dark shades.

I so want to visit Pompeii on our trip in the fall. Don't think anyone in our family wants to go as bad as I do. I've read books about Pompeii and Vesuvius since I was a child.
Gorgeous young man. . . bravo to you both.
