Thanks a lot @JaneBurunina , very beautiful words and huge pleasure to meet you (and of course Pavel) in person as well, awesome Local Guide and awesome person.
You should come more often, we are here waiting for you … have a thought for Lucca and Norcia :-).
I liked so much the important words “the beauty of being friends”, definitely so appropriate to describe this unforgettable meet-up. It was my first Italian meetup and I could not expect more fun: amazing organization and extraordinary friends that contributed to create a fantastic meet-up. Thank you again!
The puzzled face of @uavalentine was the perfect representation of the situation. I kind of OMG!!
Every time we moved, the rain was becoming heavier and heavier, so we had that coloured umbrellas following us everywhere, filling the space of most of our photos. Funny, in a meet-up focused on wine, to have so much water all around.
And, like Valentine, also the other guests had to decide to smile.
The rain ended on Sunday evening, and Monday morning started with a beautiful sun, giving to @Stella2 a nice week on the area. I am sure she will write a lot about her week. How many places did you visited, Stella?
@ErmesT you know that in Naples pizza is a pillar of the food tradition and that’s why we are so jealous about that … however logically Neapolitan is also Italian so the best pizza is Italian too :-).
Btw did you know already the Neapolitan pizza and its Neapolitan making art became also part of the UNESCO heritage since 2017?
Surely, Italy is forever in my heart! And I dream to come there again. I love your and @manulele81 ideas of meetups! I’m not ready to join on March, but I’m thinking about summer weekend in Province of Perugia.
Wonderful @JaneBurunina , no worries at all if you wouldn’t make in March as there will be for sure more times … and very nice if you will join in Norcia ;-).
A very big from Italy and very happy last days of this beautiful 2019.
As you said, it is winter… so the weather is cold and rainy but the main part is all the LGs sharing that wonderful moments in the intense 4 meet-ups you hosted : )
Yessss @AlejandraMaria , we have organized a visit in Lucca on Saturday the 21st of March, meetups are here: morning and afternoon. If you are able to join would be a huge pleasure ;-).
There is easy connection with many cities in Spain to Pisa airport, at 15mins from Lucca.
After that we have planned already also a meetup in June, on Friday the 26th in Norcia to @manulele81 … and there are rumors about the Euro meetup somewhere around beginning of May ;-).
It’s really a great fun during the meetups. That too during the rain. Might be some may find uncomfortable. From your pictures I can feel the amount of enjoyment you had. Yummy and .
Friendship is the best thing and really it’s very hard to say goodbye.
Thanks for your wonderful write up.
I have also posted my experiences during meetups. I have tagged you the. You can have a look at the food we relished.
