The Delights of Italian Food

We are in Vasto now after traveling through the expansive and beautiful national park. We visited the grotto...cave...of St. Dominic, The Hermit, and lunched in the mountain town of Scanno.
Part of this cultural tour has been enjoying the variety of Italian food. We've had a meat fest, a vegetarian lunch, a fish feast and learned to prepare homemade pasta with sauce and meat that was to die for. We even went to the local market to buy the ingredients!

We took an hour-long train ride northwest of Bologna to Parma. This is another lovely town, very uncrowded except for the Italian school kids on their end-of-year field trips. We walked the narrow streets and alleyways, stopping at the Duomo and a café or two for wine.  We were very lucky to come across an exhibit commerating the 80th Anniversary of the liberation of Parma from the Nazis and paying homage to the many partisans who resisted the occupation.
