Dining Alfresco

June 20, 2009

This summer my family and I have enjoyed many evenings dining outdoors, or "alfresco" as the Italians refer to it. Friends join us often for these evenings as well. It really is the best way to unwind and enjoy life.

One of those friends recently returned from a family vacation in Italy where they had a wonderful time. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip. I particularly like the one of her children waiting to enjoy an authentic Italian meal alfresco. Hopefully an experience they will remember forever.

The photo below is of their cook Fiorella. My friend said that in the picture Fiorella is preparing "The Mother of all Meals".

Below, the kids enjoy the view as they wait for the feast.
