Modena Italy – The Beginning

I never dreamed I would find myself traveling to Modena, Italy. For years I longed to visit other parts of Italy. I wasn’t really sure where. I knew I was attracted to the wine country.

The area of Emilia-Romagna had never previously been in my awareness. And yet here I was, traveling across the Atlantic Ocean, to one of the food meccas of the world.

The Origins to Modena, Italy

This entire trip originated at the International Food Blogger Conference. A presentation was done by the gentleman, Federico Desimoni, regarding Balsamic Vinegar.

San Francisco International Airport

This particular flight had a lot of problems from the get go. To bring in some perspective – I live in Sacramento and the flight departed from San Francisco. Its about a 2 hour drive.

Arrival in Italy

A hop, a skip, and a jump later, I landed in Milan. They had arranged a driver for me, so I was kind of excited to have someone holding a sign with my name.

Arriving at our lodging, a Best Western. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I only had my preconceived notions from staying at this company’s locations in the United States. However, here in Modena, I was thrilled with the accommodations.

From the front desk to the rooms, winding stone pathways were bordered by roses in full bloom along with a myriad of other flowers and bushes. It felt lush, quiet, and like the perfect spot to setup shot.
