Six people from Farindola, Italy, spent Thanksgiving week touring greater Boynton Beach. They traveled here to join the Greater Boynton Beach Sister Cities program. Their first adventure was a Nov. 26 trip to the beach and snorkeling. That day ended with a walk around the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, where Monica Damiani exclaimed ‘bellissimo’ when she saw her first alligator. The tour guides were Jeanne Heavilin, Sister Cities president, and Susan Oyer, Sister Cities vice president and Farindola Committee chair. The official signing between the two cities took place Nov. 29.
