Day Fourteen: Travel to Lazio for the last few days of our adventure. We said goodbye with breakfast by the beautiful beach of Francavilla with Caesar’s aunt. Sunshine and a cool breeze and the sea! Never long enough in this part of Italy but we packed up and headed west. Stopped at the town of Celano in L’Aquila for pranzo and passagiata. Another town that was invaded by various forces throughout the centuries as well as an earthquake whose damage was never completed until after WWII. The rain was heavy during our visit but we were able to walk the historical trail and enjoyed pranzo at a restaurant called “la Locanda” a fitting spot since Caesar and I met at la Locanda (the one in Newtown Sqaure) 20 years ago. Made it to Tivoli by evening just as the sun returned.
Darby is a borough in Delaware County, Pennsylvania where you can stand with one foot in town and the other in SW Philly. It is bordered by Darby Creek. It has a public library erected in 1743 and a cemetery more than 300 years old. The Quakers lived there early in the colonial era. In 1900 3,429 people made their homes there in 1940 10,334 residents of Darby existed. It is here, in November 1960 where I had my first view of the world.
