Lisa has a second cousin who has lived in America for 40 odd years. She had met him once before when he visited Australia. We had a phone number for him but there had been no contact for around 25 years. He is Elio's brother who you might remember we stayed with when we visited the family island of Panarea off Sicily in 2009. Anyway we called the
Number a couple of times in the weeks before we went to NY and got a machine. We had no idea if it was the correct number for him but Lisa left messages. We heard nothing until 2 days before we left NY. Lisa had a lovely talk with him and he invited us to Brooklyn to his home the next day. We caught the subway over and had lunch with him and his family. Wife Ronni, sons John and Salvatore and Sals wife Jodi and johns wife to be Molly. Not to forget the new addition to the family, Sal and Jodi's daughter Gianna. We had a great afternoon with them and they have that deep love of any family that we experienced on Panarea. On our way home Sal and Jodi took us to the famous coney island boardwalk for a look around. After that we jumped on the subway at Coney Island to go back to Manhattan. But that's another story.
