Mom, Zia and I headed out to San Severo today to try and
handle some banking. But, just like all business in Italy, there are going to
be several hoops lined up for us to jump through before they will give us
access to my father’s account (the donkey delivering news of his death more
than five years ago recently arrived in San Severo). Though, the drive to San Severo is a beautiful
one, passing through some of the richest farmland in the world. The photos I
took while driving on a farm road do not do the drive justice.
Tonight we celebrated my cousin Elio’s (from The Netherlands)
birthday. The actual day is August 4, but my Dutch family members are returning
to The Netherlands tomorrow morning so we celebrated early. Hopefully we will
see them again next summer either here or in The Netherlands. We had pizza from
Parco del Mare drinks to toast his compleano (birthday).
