Fonte Romana

I recently had the privilege of having my second piece published on the She Explores travel blog. This particular photo story is on a very special place in my life, Fonte Romana: an area and restaurant near where my mum grew up in Pacentro, Italy.

I thought it would be fun on here to share some behind-the-scenes photographs of friends and family from the last time we visited.

cloudy day in the mountains, but still so beautiful

building near the restaurant

my dad & Jim chatting outside Fonte Romana

my mum on the right (love her laugh) & her cousin Carolina

chilling our Prosecco in the mountain spring water

wild boar prints (and part of a Laura print)

grabbing some coals for cooking in the kitchen

besides the wine (of course), I do miss those lil Crodo drinks

in an effort to eat and drink and be healthy/merry, I've been adding turmeric to my beverages lately and I think it's love. turmeric is such a gorgeous color yellow and carries a peppery but subtle taste. this by far is the easiest implementation - straight up in pineapple juice. I've also been making turmeric tea lately which I'll share a recipe of that in the next couple days.
