Hello world!

Posted by Mary Louise Tucker on 2 November 20072 November 2007

I am brand new to blogging. I want to try it out to see if I can discipline myself to write regularly, develop stories or record memories. We’ll see how it goes.

Wandering graveyards in Teramo province of Abruzzo looking for #Pergolini and came across this one. Not sure if this Elisabetta is perhaps a cousin of my grandfather. Her birthday indicates she’s from the same generation. #weareinabruzzo #lourooitaly2019 #family

This woman and her film crew/entourage were everywhere we went in Burano last week. #lourooitaly2019

Think global, eat local. #weareinabruzzo #lourooitaly2019

Yesterday in Venezia. No we did not ride a gondola. #gondola #lourooitaly2019 #venice

Always take the advice of a trusted local when it comes to dining in Padova. Thanks for the the suggestion that we try Osteria dal Capo, Lucia! The stuffed zucchini flower was beautiful and delicious. My minestra with cozze (mussels) and tortellini di sepia (filled with ricotta) broke all the rules I’ve learned about not combining seafood and cheese. The dish qualifies as a Culinary Bliss Point. And the local house sparkling wine was a perfect lunchtime accompaniment. #culinaryblisspoint #weareinveneto #weareinpadova #padua #lourooitaly2019

Last night we met up with friends Holly and Jim (who I met 3 years ago in Lecce while studying Italian). They gave us a walking tour of their Padova and we dined together. The medieval piazzas are so charming and the city seems very livable. #weareinveneto #lourooitaly2019 #padua #padova

I forgot to mention... we are in #Abruzzo now so I am posting mostly on my other Insta, @heartinabruzzo - pop on over and see what we have been doing. #weareinabruzzo #lourooitaly2019

We rolled into Larino a few days ago hoping to do some laundry as well as visit the Centro Storico, cathedral and see the amphitheatre. As it happened, the laundromat was closed due to the final day of celebration for local patron San Pardo. The festa closes with a 3 km long bullock cart parade through the new and old towns. What a spectacle. The carts have a long history and are handed down through generations of families. This particular parade has been going on since the year 842. The houses are decorated with banners and flags and there is music and food. We happened on some vendors selling a local specialty called Pampanella, pork marinated in hot chili and oil then cooked in the oven with red wine. It becomes soft and has a pleasant spicy taste. At street festivals it is served on a roll. Very satisfying. So we left Larino with dirty clothes but we met many kind people, ate well and learned of an ancient Molisano tradition. #weareinmolise #lourooitaly2019 #sanpardo2019

This is not an ad. This is just laundry 🧺 day. The realities of long term travel.
