What a great trip with the Bolsena Rotary club. We did so much here and had wonderful places to stay!! We visited the town where the 1965 version of Romeo and Juliet was filmed (hence the death scene photo with me and Lacey). The team had a great lunch on day one with a ton of great food and wine. Many tours of museums and old Etruscan ruins, very interesting!! We also toured a sheep and lamp slaughter facility (Bose and Lacey could not take it). The olive oil company was way cool! Next time you are at an Italian restaurant, take a piece of bread and cover it with salt, apply the olive oil and WOW!! It is delicioso!! The wine cellar was the best!!!! We are now off to the island of Sardinia. Thank you to Francesca for being such a great interpretur for the team. Very smart 16 year old who will make it big one day!!! And thank you to Carlo and Lucia for being great hosts. I loved smoking your cigars!!!
