Back from Italia After a Wonderful Tour

We are back from the September 2010 Oceans and Hilltowns Tour - 15 days total in Italy.  All that food!  All that wine!  And tiramisu'!  And all the sights, and shopping.... I'll be posting pictures of our meals and reviews of some restaurants and accommodations in the coming weeks. 

I also made lovely friends in Sorrento and am so thankful that we'll be able to stay in touch via Facebook until I visit again.  I tossed my coin into Trevi Fountain, so I'll certainly be back!

Now that I've recovered from the jetlag, all I can think about is the "Return to Sorrento" Tour in late April 2011.  Here is a beautiful instrumental version of the "Return to Sorrento" song: http://www.amazon.com/Return-To-Sorrento/dp/B003YOOS0W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1286046333&sr=1-4

Italian Club of Salt Lake

If you're in Utah or coming for a visit and are interested in events related to Italian culture, music, or food, check the Italian Club of Salt Lake (ICSL) website for information: www.italianclubofsaltlake.com .

The ICSL also offers wonderful Italian language classes in a fun and comfortable setting at Raw Bean Cafe', at 611 South West Temple (great access off I-15). I'm the coordinator of the classes as well as a student, and believe me, the classes are great!
