Dear Paolo, It’s now been almost five months since we met at the bus station in Venice. It seems like only yesterday. Anyway “pillow boy” and the rest of the family still talk of our trip often and your name always comes up. We never adequately thanked you for making our tour of Italy unforgettable. We all have our favorite places and experiences during our stay, but we also all agree that you made the trip truly unique.

You really are the best driver in Italy. So thank you again for the great driving, restaurants, sights, accents, and jokes. Most of all thank you for allowing us to visit your home and meet your lovely wife and son. We hope the remainder of your year was good for you and your family, and wish you a very prosperous New Year. I know that someday we’ll return to your beautiful country, and would consider it an honor if we could see you again. Enjoy your skiing and motor cross. With great memories always, the Regula’s - Ann, Doug, David, Eric “pillow boy”, and Mike
