Che pagina interessante! Dovrei proprio venire in New Jersey! La storia degli emigranti italiani è molto affascinante!

Nice overview of your home state. We now have a new Ikea store here in Frankfurt, just 20 minutes by bicycle from my house. (20 minutes by car, too, because they have to go a long way around.) Great that NJ now has a light rail system.
