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.

Being back in England right now, I'm really missing island summer. The smell of the sea, the heat shimmering over the sand.... *sigh* Ahh well, soon :)

I was going to come and visit on thursday, but have you seen the price of the ferry tickets? Positano-Ischia one way £19!!! And it takes 2 hours to get there on the slow boat. So I'm not coming...but Carlo is threatening to canoe over (from Capri)..

I'm so jealous. I have'nt even been to the beach this year. No time. Not the Italian motto, I know. But there's always tommorrow, now that's Italian isn't?
