Sharon & Giancarlo: I loved the pictures, especially the ones illustrating the food! Please be careful of your spelling, especially of place names. If you are creating something to share online, you want to make sure you check everything before you leave it up there with errors. You need to add a map, some more facts, and some hyperlink to tourist sites.
