I will see you in my Dreams novel Chapter 42

Italy is well known for its cultural and environmental tourist routes.

Ari and Hannah are interested in the Italian visual arts of western painting. Roman art was influenced by Greece and partly be taken as a descendant of ancient Greek painting. Roman painting does have its own unique characteristics. The only surviving Roman paintings are wall paintings, many from villas in Campania, in Southern Italy. Stanley promised to bring them there.

As for the cuisine.....Italy has the most traditional specialties like cheese, Hannah's favorite, cold cuts like prosciutto--it's Ari's fave, that goes with their favorite wine Moscato de Asti. To mention a few favorites.....Spaghetti Alla nerano, pizza fritte de Fernanda, lemon delight cake, and many more delicious dishes.

Ari booked a 1 stop flight via KLM from Manila to Rome, Italy. The couple decided to travel light since they will be traveling by air, train, and car for the entire scheduled trip with Stanley and Gracia.

Welcome to Rome, my dear cousin Ari and to your lovely wife Hannah. This my wife Gracia.

We are so glad for the invite Stanley, its been a while, cousin. You're looking great! Nice to meet you Gracia.

Hannah: Great to see you both Stanley and Gracia! I am so happy to see you both.

Gracia: I heard so many stories about you guys, pleasure is mine. Welcome to Rome!

Stanley: It's been a while, Hannah, I am so glad to see you both with those happy faces.

Stanley kisses Hannah on both cheeks and hugs Ari and whispered...I am happy for you Ari, you're with Hannah, the love of your life, really happy for both of you!

Ari: Thank you, Stanley.

After breakfast, they drove to see the Amalfi Coast. They visited museums along the Coast..... they enjoyed Absolute Positano, Ceramiche Cosmolena di Margherita di Palma, Sol'Art Ceramiche, Museo Della Carta, and Museo Diocesano.

Then, they decided to have lunch with the amazing view of the Amalfi Coast. They had spaghetti and zucchini dishes paired with white wine.

It was a tiring but productive day. They enjoyed each other company. Stanley and Gracia are great hosts. There are times in the day that Ari caught Stanley's glimpse at Hannah's. He is not jealous anymore, he hoped that Gracia wouldn't notice it.

Ari's POV:

I can feel that Stanley still has a thing for my wife but I am not jealous anymore. This is the 4th invite for us from Stanley to visit Italy. I know he just wanted to see my wife if she is happy with me. It seems that Gracia is happy with him. Stanley told me in secret that they are still working on their relationship. He even told me that he is jealous of our love and devotion to each other. I wished that Stanley and Gracia will find the love, the same love, and devotion I shared with my wife. I will not forget his sacrifices, walking away because he cared so much. I will never forget that.
