I found out some interesting things. Cortina is definately a Spanish-type name, it means curtain in Spanish, and not an Italian name. However, all of the Cortinas are from Italy. They are 39 km south of Roma. Just about smack dab inbetween Rome and Naples, where my family is from.

They insisted that Cortina is an Italian name and there is a lot of precedence for this. That part of the world saw a lot of people moving about. Who am I to argue? People always say ask if LaPolla is Spanish and I always tell them no, it’s Italian. Go figure.

Anway, the kids loved the pool. It’s great seeing people enjoy our 50 foot pool.

I told the men of the family about the Italian food I cook for the workshop. They wanted to know when dinner was. I told them that they had to stay at the inn and order in advance.
