Siena is filled with sightseeing tourists oblivious to everyday (yet delightful) realities of life just down the street. For our Easter television special, we dropped by a retirement home where little kids just learning about the meaning of Easter were entertaining people who had celebrated it eighty times. This is what I love about travel: Experiencing something that feels familiar, but in a different hemisphere — reminding me how touchingly similar people are, all around the globe.

Rick,
Thanks for posting such a joyful event. I hope with the stronger dollar more Americans will fly over to experience local Europeans doing what most families in the world do. As I watch more of your shows (particularly the one of Iran) I’m reminded how much we share with our friends across the pond.
I loved looking at the RS Tour scrapbooks!
Ciao,

That was precious! The Chicken Dance in Italian! Looked like a lovely place and thank you, Rick, for sharing.
