While I'm in the US I decide to have a workshop on "Planning Your Own Trip to Italy"... We had a typical Aperitivo spread, with Spritz and Chianti (with not a fava bean in sight -- email if you understand this reference! :-) )... and a slideshow of tips and tricks. It went very well... 

Thanks to my friend Julie Wall Burris at @Lilac Realty for hosting! Love ya, Jules!
