WE VISITED SITES NORMAL TOUR GUIDES DON'T BOTHER TAKING YOU TO.
Aug 2003
LAST FALL WE WENT TO ITALY FOR THE 2ND TIME, EACH TIME WE USED REMO AND HIS SONS AS A GUIDE. I WANTED TO SEE THE TOWN WHERE MY GRANDFATHER WAS BORN. REMO MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR ME TO GO TO FANTANNAROSSA. WE VISITED WITH OUR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO LIVED THERE. I DO NOT SPEAK ITALIAN SO WITHOUT HIM THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. THEY TOOK US BALLROOM DANCING, WE HAD DINNER AT NEIGHBORS HOMES. WE VISITED SITES NORMAL TOUR GUIDES DON'T BOTHER TAKING YOU TO. WE WENT TO THE AMALFI COAST. THE THING THAT WAS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME, I GOT SICK WHILE IN ROME. REMO TOOK ME TO THE HOSPITAL STAYED WITH ME, ACTING AS MY INTERPRETER UNTIL I WAS DISCHARGED A FEW HOURS LATER. YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE SICK IN A PLACE WHERE YOU DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE NOR UNDERSTAND IT VERY WELL. THAT SPEAKS MOUNTAINS FOR THE TYPE OF PEOPLE REMO AND HIS FAMILY IS. ON THIS LAST TRIP WE STAYED WITH REMO AND THE FAMILY IN THEIR VILLA, PRIVACY WAS GREAT WOW! WHAT A COOK HIS WIFE ANGELIA IS!!
