In May, I received some surprise items from a fellow Local Guide in Italy. Although, I was awaiting something else we agreed on, it was overwhelming to know that a post card and two packs of biscuits accompanied the package when it finally got to me.
I took time to learn the history and heritage about these cantucci cookies and Baicoli biscotti which are special biscuits made for coffee & tea. Afterwards, I took time to enjoy the biscuit with some family & friends. It was delicious.
