With this letter we want to thank all our FRIENDS,
without whose help we couldn't realize our trip.
 
IL PERCORSO
 
On the 31st of March we take off from MPX (Milano Malpensa)
directed to JFK (New York)
..
7 hours with transversal legs in a narrow seat....
 
..
THAN....the magnificent PAUL SPRING with two beautiful bunches of flowers
welcomed Francesca and Franco, and offered with his
spouse GAIL the true american hospitality
..
The following day, after a short drive all toghether we reached
Farmington (CT), where we had the pleasure to meet in person
DEBORAH KRASNER
She is going to write an interesting book on the Best Olive Oils in the World
Nicely she gave us a local delicacy to carry home and share with
the family
..
On Monday April 2nd, after a PERFECT stay in Gail & Paul's home,
we went back to NYC.
..
The meeting with
GIGI & CAESAR BERTOT
 gave us not only the opportunity
to share the rentals Francesca's experience with them,
but also the sensation to have found two new FRIENDS.
We want include the italian lunch, we had toghether at
SERAFINA'S RESTAURANT
delicious
..
Than the flight to Washington DC, where in the afternoon we met our friend
SUSAN MELLUPS
who will try to plan our next seminar in Washington DC
..
Breathing shortly, we had the time to take off for Pittsburgh (PA) where
 
 
BARBARA AND QUENTIN McQUENNA
our friends since long time
invited us for the second year to have a seminar in their
 
fantastic HYEHOLDE RESTAURANT
on the 3rd of April
..
We must now mention all the perfect Staff, the good food,the
friendly atmosphere of
HYEHOLDE
and of course the wonderful attendees
..
The 4th of April  saw us taking off and landing twice
Pittsburgh(PA)-ORD (Chigaco IL)
then
ORD- Milwaukee(WI)
This second take off has been peculiar because of a
flap breakage.
BUT
even if late... ELISSA FRANKE GOLD & her husband TIM
warmly welcomed us in their home
where we found not only friendship and atmosphere
but also an unbelivable and unforgettable Dinner with
Elissa,Terry,Roger,Tim,Francesca,Linda,Jack
ended with a good italian grappa
..
On the 5th at the MAC
thanks to Patty Matthews
 
 
we had some 100 attendees enjoying the benefits of the
extra virgin olive oil
..
That's how we "flew back" by bus to Chicago (IL)
no comment!
then....
where four witches
Emily,Denise,Davi,Maureen
have organized
in their Wine House a warm
meeting with Iowans!
 
10th April 2001
BACK HOME
.....now we should sleep for at least one month.....
but is better to start planning the
 
OCTOBER 2001 EAST COAST
 
and
 
FEBRUARY 2002 CALIFORNIA DREAM TRIP
