October Field Update
What a wonderful time I shared with my youngest daughter Naomi who is walking in her father’s footsteps. We went to Sant’ Angelo and showed the resolution for the sister city to the Mayor and told him the official one is on its way. I was amazed of how the work is progressing.

Out of a population of around 310 residents, as many as 38 were killed. Along the road linking the coastal city of Pescara to L’Aquila, we passed by beautiful towns nestled against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. The road twisted... [Read more of this review]
