I have distant cousins there. I don’t know their ages or their names, only that they are related to me through my maternal grandmother and that my mother met them when she was a little girl and that they spoke Italian and Spanish and had blonde hair. I need to ask my nonna about them while she’s still alive and make plans to visit.

I will also admit…I am a huge fan of The Motorcycle Diaries (not a communist, but it was an awesome book), and I really want to see some of the places mentioned in there. And I want to learn to tango.
