I now realize that my lack of sleep is not caused by jet lag but by the super-caffeinated Italian expresso.
On our way up to the Alps we stopped for lunch in Trento. There is a

and cooler temperatures. Still, that is polenta on top of the sauerkraut.
More caffeine.
A large family dinner at the house in Vigo di Fassa. Beautiful people in a beautiful setting.
Prosecco
Nonna’s Beef goulash and polenta… you have no idea how good this is.
I will never eat Boar’s Head Genoa salami again.
What is a meal without the chick pea course?
Cake, Papoo’s homemade grappa, and the limited production dessert wine that makes you cry.
More caffeinne
