We want to begin a series of articles dedicated to special persons.
We met them by chance, they came to Italy for their holiday and we were lucky that they chose Borgo Grondaie for their stop in Siena.
Vickie and Ron are fantastic. We met them... the first time on summer 2006.
Very few time I found persons with a so strong joy of living. You feel immediately comfortable speaking with them as an old friend that you meet after years. They love Italy and they love Bocelli. I think that Vickie loves more Bocelli than Ron does……They combined their tour trough Italy with a Bocelli’s concert. One morning Vickie came to me asking for a place that I never heard in my life. At the beginning I thought they were searching for a winery as most are located all around the Chianti and Brunello area outside the main villages. At the end I discover that they were searching for the place where Bocelli was born. She began to tell me how they love Bocelli and how they love Italy, too. I looked at her and I was so envious. They both were so excited to discover all things that I had every day under my nose but for which I never paid too much attention. They were enthusiasts for everything and their joy recharged us for days.
They left us with the promise to come back but US is not round the corner and I though that probably it would have passed years before seeing them again. But on 2007 they came back and I was pregnant. Vickie promised me gifts for my baby and as she always keep her world she sent me a big box with lots of gifts. We heard them for Christmas wishes and they are already planning to come back…..can’t wait to see them again.
