There are so many family members in Italy to see that one evening a cousin from Jason's Nonno's side brought the Lopezjoneses to Venice for dinner.
Michelle and his family are true Venitians, living in Venezia and raising their kids Federicco and Eleonora. Whom the twins took to quickly and played with continuously. Eleonora has been studying English and has gotten quite good, perhaps one day she will come to San Francisco. Renata Nani also was at our dinner, she drove in from not too far away.
Another day Paolo's daughter, Chanel, was having a birthday pool party. It was a hot afternoon and everyone, including the adults, were happy there was a pool to keep the kids occupied.
The evening during the week are packed with dinners at family's houses. One night the Lopezjoneses headed to Mestre for a dinner with Maria Valenti, eight of her children and many grandchildren.
On another day the Lopezjoneses found themselves in Alano Di Piave, where both Jason's grandparents were born, for a lunch with Odonne and his family. Ermano and Elena both traveled in from their homes to lunch with us, it was great they did.
In Alano there was a few more people to see. Bettina made her way up to Odonne's house after a quick rain storm to greet us with a few gifts in hand.
Afterwards it was to Altea's home, at 93 she's living by herself, for a quick coffee and
caramelli for the twins.
Another night brought the Lopezjoneses to Bassano Del Grappa for a dinner out on the town hosted by Gian Marco's family and his Nonna, Bruna. It was a long fun night.
