Karate Monkey: Family Photos

We arrived in Gubbio Wednesday afternoon. Adrio(uncle on Nic's Mom's side) and Rita picked us up at the train station after 5.5 hours of travel and and extra 35 minute delay due to a medical emergency at one of the stops.

We were escorted to Adrio's home and fed. Nic got to visit with her Nona for the first time in a long while. We stayed at the San Marco that evening then went on to her Aunt Maria's house(Dad's side). We had lunch and dinner there on thursday. More from Ben and Maria's house in another post.

For Friday night, Nic's Mom's cousin, Gerusa, arranged a family dinner. In 3 days she organized 40 aunts, uncles, cousins, kids, relations and partners to meet at a restaurant near Burano. The event turned into an impromptu and belated wedding reception for me and Nic.

It's been a whirlwind here I can assure you but I'm falling short in the story telling department. All I can say is I've met some fantastic people in the past 72 hours. This post is mainly dedicated to photo's of family from that dinner. My target audience is Nic's family back home. For now, entirely from Leonella's side of the family. Below are a mix, I'll do my best to include names in the captions.
