for dessert on Christmas we enjoyed two traditional treats- pandoro; buttery, spongy, very tall, covered in powdered sugar (closely related to panetone, minus the chestnuts, etc) and cantuccini with vin santo
Sadly, our year here is coming to an end. We've learned lots of Italian and we've made many wonderful friends. We did just what we came to do, but not too surprisingly, it's not easy to leave our lives here in Monterenzio- we all feel a little torn between two happy homes. It's time to come home-home nonetheless. We arrive in Minneapolis just before July. Thanks to all of our family and friends for your moral support during this adventure year. We look forward to seeing you soon and catching up. baci, Tina Gibbs Maddy Gus
