In June of 1996, I had the opportunity to again travel to Italy for an extended "vacation". It was a "childrensware learning, sewing, buying" trip, exhausting but fun!
We flew out of JFK into Rome... train into the city of Rome, took a taxi to the Vatican to get a new Rosary for my mom! then back to the train station for the trip to Florence on the "fast train" wizzing by all the miles of sunflowers to finally arrive at our apartment on the Arno River! After a week or so of trade shows, fabric mills, wholesale houses, trips up north, museums & gardens, we drove over to the Adriatic coast for another week or so of more dress manufacturers, etc .. but yes! I did get to swim at the beach, have dinner at the Blue Grotto in a mountain, see the Truli... and sew in Italy! it was an amazing trip!
I was so happy to get back to New York with the best family, friends, food, beaches & everything that makes up our wonderful country ! we missed the 4th of July in America! they don't celebrate it in Itlay! there's no place like home! that was the most valable lesson of the trip!
