Well, we are back from two weeks in Italy. What a memorable trip we had performing with the St. Mary’s on the Lake choir from Skaneateles, New York. Our experiences ranged from singing for daily mass at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Singing with the Sistine Chapel choir in St. Peter’s square for the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul to singing for daily mass at St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice our last day.
I will be posting pictures and recap of each day at some point. My only hindrance is that I lost my phone about three days into the trip at the Vatican. I’ll be relying on the photos taken by others on the trip.
I’ve also outlined the first 10 chapters of a new book based on the trip in the Frank Rozzani series as Frank will be traveling around Italy to solve a very personal case.
I’ll be catching up on the posts I’ve missed and get back to some kind of blogging schedule in the next couple of days.
It’s good to be back.
Pleased to hear you had a great trip. Sounds amazing. Nice, you got ideas for your next story too.

Thanks for taking us with you on this trip. I look forward to seeing more pictures. My dream trip has always been to Italy. Now if I go anywhere, I go see my daughter in Turkey.

It’s lovely too. My husband’s family came from Sicily and Napolitano. He enjoyed all if it. I loved it too! Wonderful trip. I wrote a post about both. If you can check them out. 😀
