A farewell to Italy
On July 22, 2004 I was on a plane travelling westward
toward Ottawa.
What a journey!
It was very sad to leave Italy, however I am happy to
be back in Canada!
I hope you found my stories interesting and that you
are now, more than ever, attracted by the beauty of
that warm peninsula, one of the best sites in the
world.
Feel free to contact me anytime, because, all I learnt
from this trip cannot and should not be left in only
one person's memory.
Here you can find a simple sheet with a summary of all
the expenses, car consumption and mileage, so you have
an idea in case you decide to visit Italy.
I would like to deeply thank those of you who, in some
way, contributed and made a wonderful difference
before and during my trip.
Arrivederci a presto!
Antonio Mauriello
