Ciao Maree

Yes, living and moving among people in a small Italian community is definitely the best way to immerse yourself in the language, culture and traditions - not to mention the food. I'm sure the work you're putting in learning Italian now will be rewarded. Take heaps of your wonderful photos.

A presto

Hi Maree

Thanks for posting the link to "portasandonato" - it, and the many characteristic towns and nearby centres look amazing,  you're sure to get a feel for the real Italian life and have a wonderful time.  Wish I was going back again.....

Ciao Maree Helene!

Apologies that I haven't replied to your message earlier - things have been pretty hectic for me lately so haven't found time to log on to the site very often!  Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my photos too - glad you liked them & hopefully they have given you a few new places to add to your list to visit!  I'm certainly not a professional photographer but I manage to get some pretty good shots with my little digital camera! I'm heading back to Italy on Tuesday & hoping there will be snow for Christmas - if so you can expect a zillion new photos to be posted when I return in January! 

I haven't done any photobooks yet, but think it is a great idea!  I'd also like to get some prints done onto stretched canvas to hang in my house.  My friend in Sydney is a great photographer so i've got a few favorites of her trip to Italy & Paris that i'd like to have done. 

Have a fabulous festive season!     :)

Buon giorno Maree Helene,
We are posting photos of Venice on our Facebook page - Italian Encounters. We'd love if you could post 1 of your gorgeous venice photos on our FB page.

By the way, I thought you might like to connect with another member Paddy McLeod - she is also a keen photographer - you will see many of her photos on this site - in fact you have commented on some of them and passionate about Italy - she is going again in December. You can simply post a hello on her wall in this site.

A presto
Liana

Well, you asked for it...There is a new Journal Entry on Venice.

Ciao

Hi Maree - Thanks for your Journal Entry. I'd like to be able to feature it on the Home page so it gets attention, and I currently can't. I think I need you to go to your journal entry - click Edit post - then go to the very bottom where it says Privacy & Comments - On the questions -'Who can view?' choose 'Everyone' - 'Who can comment?' choose 'Everyone'
Scusa per il disturbo
Grazie Mille
