Important information from our cruise


We've been on a wonderful cruise in Southern Italy and Sicily. We were with my sister and brother-in-law on a small sailing ship. Chris will write more about the great trip but I couldn't wait to share some important new information. Both Chris and I prefer the basic pizza called Margherita everywhere. I had always wondered why the name was used everywhere. I now have the answer! It was named after Queen Margherita of Italy. She visited Naples in the 19th century shortly after Italy was unified. The pizza was created in her honor using the three colors of the Italian flag, In an expression of solidarity we have had pizza almost every day since we learned about it.
