Arrived in Calabria (province of Cosenza, town of belvedere marrittimo)...just over 6 miles from my ancestral roots. Cannot wait to see my maternal grandfather's town! Hard long day...some quick touring of Villa Borghese gardens in Roma, van ride to airport...kissed my honey goodbye as he is flying back right now...almost in NJ. Nancy and I took a short but delayed flight about the same time of our hubby's flight...from Rome to Calabria. The delay meant 90 min drive to this seaside town IN THE DARK.
