Our gracious hosts Marina and Daniella collected us up from the airport armed with a sign with little chefs and our name on it, we are so lucky to have a contact here in Roma. Marina is the sister in-law to Sandy friend Joe from Sydney. Sandy has known Joe for 35 years and when we said we were planing our food adventure to Italy he put us in contact with them.
Daniella is 50 this year also on the 17 October and has similar libraian trats to me, a stickler for time (we have really clicked, on day 2 subtle jokes and hand gestures are had in the front seat of his audi A3 as we rush to a food tour that Sandy has organised in Roma central, and the beautiful Marina is in Marina time. Marina has very good English so Daniella and i have to be carful with the jokes on time management. With the flick of a hand from the back seat and the language reverting back to italian i can tell we have been sprung!!! his english is good, (WAY WAY better than my 10 words of italian) so it has been fun learning to talk to each other with Marina to help with some translation. He is a organised person with a passion for his vinyl record collection Yes real music several thousand in shelve in the apartment. Sandy and Daniella cook up lunch with lesson 1 on the 1st day Marina and I play some music.
Marina has a beautiful sole and a generous personality for her home, time and information she also loves music and breaks into song at the hint of a word that come from a song sooooooo sweet and fun. Marina and Sandy are sooooo much older than their husbands both in their 50's with us blokes still in our 40's well at least till October, so will suck every last day out of that one.
