2005 Italian Culinary Experience

Today we went to Quercianella, an unassuming little corner of Tuscan-sun by the sea, about 15km outside Livorno. Our objective was simple: do nothing. In that respect, coming from Cape Town gave us the edge.

We sat down in a small restaurant by the sea and asked for some antipasti and a plate of pasta. What came was nothing short of a miracle. I refuse to describe what we ate because the only worthy way of experiencing it was to be there eating it. End of story.

Well, it’s only two days before we return home. I’m feeling sooo sad to leave Italy behind, especially a place like Tuscany at the start of summer.

Looking back over the last two months, it seems much longer. There have been good times and bad times, but in the end they’ve all served to add to the positive experience of the trip and I’m so glad we did it.

This site will stay up and I intend to pick up where I left off the next time I return to Italy. Thanks to all who have supported my brother and I, especially our parents…

YOU RULE!
