ExpatsinItaly 1st Cortona GTG!

Saturday Cortona was host to the 1st official www.expatsinitaly.com Cortona get together!  We all met up at La Saletta for a glass of wine and had a great turn out.

Here you can see, from left to right, Alex & Michael Shaun w/ their two daughters, Alessandra, Alfredo, Pietro and Patricia di Pierle.

This is Greer, Tara, Mentha and Dan.

                         

And here is one of all of us at La Saletta

For those who could stay longer, we moved the party over to our apartment for a potluck lunch.  Here's what the spread looked like AFTER we all dug in.

Ben, who was visiting the area with his wife Martha and was behind organizing this event, was kind enough to bring fun goodies to pass out to everyone.

Everyone was busy chatting in different parts of the house.  Notice the "men's only" section on the balcony?

Thanks to everybody for helping out and bringing food!  It was a great meal and we really enjoyed getting to know everyone, how fantastic that we all live so close by!  We look forward to seeing all of you again soon in the future.

Thank you Tania and Keith for your hospitality and opening up your apartment for everyone and to everyone who attended the 1st Annual GTG in Cortona. It was great to put faces with names from the Expats In Italy web site. Martha and I had a wonderful time and appreciated the opportunity to meet everyone who attended the GTG.

See you the next time we are in Italy. Take care one and all,
Ben and Martha
