Another lunedi . . .

and the June gloom is following me on my way out of LA . . . I have been visiting my family there. Ah, the weather lives up to it's name . . . there is rain, mist and cooler temperatures. Even my mood was overtaken by some forces of this chaotic state's nature . . . gloom was my doom! :) Now however, I have taken the horse by the reins as the saying goes, gotten my many-horse powered vehicle out of the mist, and returned to the sunshine of Arizona. From here I eagerly await my departure in just another month! The thoughts of Italy are profoundly intruding upon my life, day-in and day-0ut . . in fact, I find myself eagerly speaking to all the Italia-lovers I know, those who share my passion and travel back-and-forth more than some usual amount of time. Take Maria for example, I met her on the plane, returning last summer from Italy. We hit it off and have remained friends ever since. She is delightful, full of spirit; she is an Italian woman, born there, but raised here in America. Her energy and vivacity for life is equivalent to all the other beautiful and multi-faceted Italian women I know, but I can converse with her in my own language! We are sharing the details of our eminent returns to Italy, hers coming just weeks after mine. While there, we plan to cross the invisible regional line between us and meet up. Should be fun, sharing our lives, our passion and our experiences mutually.

Did I hear you say you are eager to journey to this beloved place? Can Chemarci help you find your way?? While bringing your senses to a fully-enticed state, knowing that we might help you learn . . . might we bring you tastes which you've never tried before, might we just bring you a part of the world which lights your soul on fire?!

I'm eager to be back in the place I adore, so come with me, follow my journey and excite at my finds . . . the jewels of the Mediterranean await us both in bella Italia.
Just another month, and Chemarci will be filling our website with the exquisite artisan and handcrafted goods from Puglia . . . maybe a few from nearby regions as well. Let us know what your preferences are, what you enjoy, what you hope to find . . we are eager to bring the best of Italy to your doorstep! Ciao! Cheryl
