Here is the final post for daughter L's Italy trip.
Adam had been concerned about visiting a country where they might not speak English. L said English was not a problem in Florence, however in the small towns it would be more of a problem. However the people in the small towns are incredibly courteous and friendly. They remember asking for directions to a restaurant in a small town, the man was just entering his house. Well he got back into his car and told them to follow him, as he showed them the short way to the restaurant!
These are the items L brought home, the shopping, gifts, and souvenirs from Italy.
L had eaten this pasta dish at some point and loved it.

So she decided to buy a pack of it to try at home.

At her cooking course in Italy, they used these long rolling pins and we thought it was a good idea to bring one home! It may be difficult to get a board to match. L also brought us some Italian coffee.

You are right dear Christine that people in foreign usually happen to be very friendly as i heard from my son when he told me his first day in Munich Germany.
ReplyDeleteGlad that all went smooth for your dear daughter and she is back safely .
loved her choices specially hand gloves and little leaning tower
That's good to know
ReplyDeleteNice food, although I'm not sure I would want a plateful of those last ones....Glad she had such a good trip. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteShe really made a lovely trip.
ReplyDeleteAbout english is not problem in other countries ! In many sites the people speak some english !
That was really sweet of that guy to just drive them to the restaurant. Italy is a very friendly place it seems.
ReplyDeletedefinitely on my trip bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI've travelled to places where the people don't speak English and it's never been a problem. You always manage. And there are always people willing to help.
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I love Italy.
ReplyDeleteah penis pasta, a regular at hen parties lol :p
ReplyDeletelanguage doesnt usually become a problem traveling if a person is nice and not rude/pushy about things
I enjoyed Italy a lot when I visited in 1969. So glad the terrorists were not there when L and her friend were there.
ReplyDeleteOMG!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and as for the long narrow rolling pin, that what I use as well. I HATE the ones with the handles. Anyway, mine was given to my by my grandmother. It's a piece in my kitchen that I would grab if there was a fire.
