The Italian Blog
My first weekend in Canada doesn't really fit in to this blog, because
(a) I spent it with my in-laws who are all Italian, and
(b) I'd been there before so I didn't really have any new impressions of the country.
But being surrounded by Italians there was a lot of food involved, and lots of shouting, especially from my zio (uncle) Joe who refuses to believe he's wrong about anything but nevertheless makes excellent pizza.
I also got to see my new (ish - he's been around for almost a year now) nephew who's like a little version of my husband Joe (God help us all!) : )
Anyway I'll move on to first impressions of Hamilton, the city just southwest of Toronto which forms the backdrop for my new life in Canada...
