Remembering Zoe... Part II

Posted by (California 🦋) on

Dear Fellow Travelers,

Several months ago, while contemplating a return to Italy, I compiled many of our late dear friend Zoe's
trip reports here: Remembering Zoe...

Searching the forum, once again, I came across a few more of Zoe's posts and would like to share them with you.

It gives me comfort to re-read her posts and this is my way of keeping Zoe's memory alive.

And... I love Zoe's reply to Chani on this post: What to see and do in Bologna?

Do NOT limit your diet in Bologna, of all places! Take Roberto's advice and eat, eat, eat! Tagliatelle Bolognese, tortellini, panna cotta ;-). Even the train station has good food. Go down any side street off the main piazza and you will find great little places.

Please share memories of Zoe... Thanks everyone!

Priscilla

Priscilla, I loved reading these and bookmarked this post to read again more slowly - so many worthwhile comments from Zoe’s topics & wisdomI especially appreciate that you shared these because several were created before I knew about the forum (although traveled on RS tours). Excellent positive topics!

Yep, Laurel & Priscilla, I think of our friend Zoe around this time of year because last couple of trips I've been on the planning main stretch to leave end of February. Zoe loved to travel off-season and got me to try it--now I'm hooked. She never really stated that she disliked throngs of tourists, although her credo of finding non-popular destinations kind of intimated that, right?

On the other hand, her love of Rome (like ours) was a push to look past the obvious, help yourself by doing a little advance woodshedding on historical significance, and be thrilled about seeing stuff that virtually nobody else would find remotely interesting. To her (I think), it was a way to become at one with Roma.

And I fell for it hook, line & sinker. Thanks again, Zo...

Priscilla,
You had sent me a message about Salerno. In the process of responding (quite lengthy) I lost it or it was sent uncompleted. I tried to resend, but I am blocked from sending 2 replies. Could you send me another message and I will try it again.

So pleased to re-read Zoe's posts again & again. Looking forward to keeping the memory alive when we follow the same path of her beloved Sicily next fall.

As new people join the Forum I hope they will also be inspired by Zoe's wisdom and gentile kindness.

Grazie Priscilla!
