So I managed to wipe out my entire hard drive last week… to add insult to injury, I have a back-up drive but never got around to hooking it up. All my photos (that I didn’t upload to snapfish) including some of the “fantastic photos” I had yet to post (sorry) and much much more. [...]
Here’s a fantastic photo from Amy & Jonny at “We Are Never Full” their blog was one of the inspiration behind Fantastic Photos when I started it (read here.)

One commercial shows how they go [...] One of the most unique and beautiful tourist attractions in Calabria in my opinion is, “la Chiesetta Di Piedigrotta” in Pizzo Calabro. Pizzo Calabro is a picturesque fishing town on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria and la Chiesetta Di Piedigrotta is actually located on the road into town on the SS 522, about 4km from [...] Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is like “French Wine” or “Swiss Chocolate” or “German Cars”… Italy isn’t the largest producer of Olive Oil (Spain is) but Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is in its own class… not to take anything away from any other country as there is certainly high quality products elsewhere, possibly superior [...]
Italians are big on superstitions…. it’s true. Especially us southern Italians. Here are a few of the ones that stand out from growing up. Some are serious and others are just for fun. I hope you can add some of your own as well. Never lay a loaf of bread upside down…. since bread [...] |
