| Antonio, Angela and ma at Campitello Matese (Il Matese is the highest peak in that area). In the background is a ski hill (quite a large number of runs). We had driven upwards a good ways, before getting to the ski hill. |
Angela, me and ma. |

Driving home from Campitello, we spotted Maria (Gino's mom (Gino lives in Thorold)) at the fountain, so ma begged Antonio to stop the car. Beautiful fountain -- clear mountain water flowing all the time. |

| In the afternoon, we had a visit from some of ma's cousins (from her father's side). From left, Annunziata, Donatella, Maria (Petronilla's daughter-in-law who now own dad's house), zia Incoronata, Angela, ma. We're in zia Incoronata's downstairs kitchen. |
Annunziata, Ma, Donatella |
Ma with Domenico ("Minche"). He was a friend of dad's and remembered stories about him (although we didn't have time for many). Hilarious man. Very talkative, and ma does a great impression of him when he first saw her - in a wailing voice: Annunziata!! I broke both my legs!! |
Ma with Gaetana (Alex's aunt - sister to zia Domenica). Gaetana is married to Domenico. |

| Ma and Gaetana. |
Zio Nicola (ma's cousin) with some snails he'd picked up after it had rained. Angela's in the background. The whole family is disgusted by the snails, but he loves them. |
Snails about to be dumped in boiling water ("let us out!!") |
Zio Nicola pulling the snails out of the shell. Afterwards, their cooked in sauce. They weren't so bad, although ma ate more than I did. |
