Good Day everyone!  Does anyone know if Bagni is still around?  Sent him a message and he has not responded.  Didn't know if he left for Paestum and has not come back?  If anyone knows please let me know.  Grazie!

Thank you for the suggestion!  I guess maybe I am wary of the "southern most" islands.  Me, the naive American who has maybe read too many books, seen too many movies, heard too many stories????  I have even had northern Italians tell me, "you go south of Naples and no one hears from you again"!!!!!  Guess I will have to go explore there some time and see for myself.

Thanks so much for the great info.  Been gone on holiday the last week so I'm behind on my mail.  I will definitely check this area out.  This is just the information I was looking for.  And how do you find the weather in the area, especially in the winter time?

Ohhh yes....Paestum.  That was also on my list to check out this coming June.  Seemed like a great place to investigate as I understand there are many Greek influences in the Paestum area.  Greek - Italian great combination!  My father is Greek and my mother Italian.   I am glad to hear from you on this.  The reinforcement only adds to my anticipation and excitement!  Thank you.

Just read this thread and it suddenly occurred to me, these folks are mostly all Brits, or there abouts.  Keep in mind I am new here, but it's like "where's the beef"?  Not that I am holding that against anyone (just kidding) but I was expecting to find mainly Italians conversing in this piazza.  And by Italians I mean born and raised in the fine country of Italy.  Do they not exist?  Pardon my ignorance....naivety.......showing the proverbial slip.  Could someone enlighten me?  I truly do enjoy the read though.

I checked my "all messages" again and nothing from John and Toni.  I will try sending on to them and see if they can reply.  Puzzling!  But yes I am looking for the mild climates but wanting desperately to be in Italy.  I have lived with tough winters and snow up past the arm pits most of my life!  Want to be finished with that.  Thank you all for welcoming me and good wishes.  Hope I can contribute to this community!
