The owners of the Milan campsite, in Italy, are an Israeli family. We discussed with them in the morning where the Kosher butcher was in the town and were told to go in the morning as they might be closing early as today was “Yom Hatzmaut”, Israel Independence Day and there were to be a number of celebrations-
It was a really hot day and after we had been to the butcher and had a snack in a Kosher restaurant nearby we decided to take the bus back before the meat went off!
On arriving back at the campsite we were invited to join the family for a barbecue that they were holding that evening.
It was a really enjoyable evening with three families totaling sixteen including children and ourselves eating, drinking and talking in three languages.
Last year we joined in a barbecue picnic on the side of the Rhine at Cologne for another Jewish Festival, “Lag B’Omer” and had a great time until it rained. Where next and what festival?
