Freedom At Last
Welcome back to my Life in Northern Italy blog. Today I am going to write about food and the differences in menus that can occur in restaurants located just a few kilometers apart.

I want you to feel as if you are here, etc. We have just returned from taking an hour and a half drive to the south to visit the beach area. This area is at the mouth of the Po river which is quite large and has bird santuaries throughout the area.
