May 16: Perhaps the best day of a good trip. We arrived the night before at the old hunting lodge Torre di Camigliati on the OldCalabria historic estate. After a good dinner and night's sleep, we visited the Ship Museum of the grounds of the estate. Laid out like a typical transAtlantic ship, its walls were lined with posters and photos of the ills that poverty-stricken peasants from Calabria were fleeing, and their lives in America. We then hiked through the Della Sila National Park (that's Gianluca among the trees), and concluded with a delightful and delicious typical mid-day meal at Le Delizie di Marianna, a family restaurant. The last photo shows our trip leaders, JoAnn Lantz and Gianluca Canalicchio, waltzing to the accordion music of the family's son.
