Dear Elizabeth
The BAD part of getting over jet-lag is that the vacation recedes into memory, rather than experience. I went back to the Pergolaccio website (and our own photos) yesterday and almost felt like I was back in Umbria. (My attempt at making Fiori dei Zucca wasn't so successful, but I'll try again.) Luckily, our local produce season corresponds with yours, so that's one way to keep our vacation alive. I wanted to thank you for your warmth, caring and hospitality during our trip. You were so gracious about your availability, suggestions to make our stay perfect. You and your husband have created such a special place at Pergolaccio - I feel so lucky to have been able to experience it and to share that with my family. We dream about going back. (The "fresca" apple tortetinis at the bakery in Izzalini are also calling!)Also, meeting you in Rome was wonderful. Your suggestions (and making the reservations!) at Gigetto and Taverna dei Fiori Imperiale were perfect. We had wonderful meals. And most of all, your generously (and unanticipated) hosting of Alessio's incredible dinner at Fiori Imperiale - that was so gracious of you! Thank you so much! (The veal meatloaf was a huge hit!) We would love to see you in Los Angeles if you are ever on this coast.Our family extends its best wishes to you and yours. Thank you again for everything!
Carla
