We spent three days with cousin Alessandra, her husband, Lorenzo and their two sons, Nicola, and Pierpaolo, down in Caserta. They just bought a house in the country, up around the hills of Caserta, which is where we slept. Cool, fresh breeze, cherry trees, winding cliff roads and a little fishing lake. Lorenzo took us to see the Palazio in Caserta which is equal in grandeur to Versailles, although the French might not agree. I've only seen the outside of Versailles, but both are the size of small cities. One day, Nic and I went to Alessandra's school, where she is an English teacher and helped quiz some of her students who are studying for an English exam. On the day we were to leave for Rome, Alessandra made her special lasagna and eggplant parmesan and Lorenzo baked them in their outdoor brick oven fed by a wood fire. Delicious!
