The place was Jeff and Marc's Osteria, recently praised as the best restaurant in Philadelphia. The food was delicious and we had a private table in the kitchen. Even though we met many people for the first time, it felt like getting together with old friends. We are lucky and blessed to have had so much support from these remarkable Philadelphians.

Dinner with our 'team' at Osteria
During the month or so before we came for treatment to Philadephia we had an amazing team of remarkable people (both in Holland and in Philly) who assisted us in every way. 2 nights ago we were able to have dinner together and everyone was able to meet. While we were struggling with Hannah's health in December/January, Tammy Fine emerged as our 'guardian angel' in Holland and she flew over especially for this. We had an amazing evening with everyone who had been so helpful to us; Jeff Benjamin, Tamara Nuzzaci, Ronnie Polaneczky and Lee Shlifer. We were delighted to meet Jay Scott, executive director of Alex's Lemonade Stand, chefs Marc Vetri and Jeff Michaud, and Ronnie's daughter, Addie. Michael Fine, our artistic director in Rotterdam came down from NY for the evening and my mother, Carol, was there, too

Hello,
ReplyDeleteYou all look great! Lovely to see your pictures and read your news. It was rather a surprise to hear about the radiation treatment. Camilla spent all Wednesday thinking that Hannah was starting her treatment...Good to hear you are being taken good of - and have such great friends in Philadelphia.
lots of love
Camilla, Simona, Giuliana & Albert XXX
Hey, you all! We are back in Wells, making Alex' and Sam's new dorm look inhabitable (sort of at least today!)and love your pictures. I really, really love all the head gear Hannah is sporting, I am having my knitting needles out, feeling inspired by all the scarves and hats! Keep eating all that wonderful Philadelphia food (Eet smakelijk! en heeel veel!) and enjoy having everybody with you. I shall have to take to my kitchen and make my Sushi myself, the sushi scene in Somerset is a bit poor in comparison! Hope all goes well with simulation radiation and then with the real thing again soon. Write to you soon, looking forward to seeing some more photos soon, all the best to you all, The Masters in very cold and wet Somerset.
