So this was in Istria that you went to for truffle hunting, right?

Joelle MachiaGUEST
So in the heart of, of Istria country, in the hill, the hills around the, the heart of Istria.

Joelle MachiaGUEST
Probably a good solid hour from the Adriatic coastline, and it's a very short distance from Slovenia, from the, uh, Trieste, Italy, and then also in Croatia.

Joelle MachiaGUEST
So it's a really cool area of the, of the, of Europe because you have so many countries that you could visit right nearby, each with very much their own cultural identity.

Ryan SloughGUEST
So, I mean, you could see the influences of what that really represents there come through pretty good in that place, I'll tell you that.

Joelle MachiaGUEST
And that's what the reviews said, very authentic and everything's made fresh.

Joelle MachiaGUEST
I mean, it's full of not only you've got the Chinese, but it's also historic buildings, unique shopping, lots of restaurants.

But do you see that just in travels that, hey, you know, kids are getting out and about a little bit more?

Joelle MachiaGUEST
If you look around, you see kids who clearly, well, you know, people do have children later in life, but you'd have to assume just based on what you're seeing that these are not people who just had these kids.

Joelle MachiaGUEST
I think you're seeing more and more of that, whether it's local, but even on the international stage.

Joelle MachiaGUEST
And what you're also seeing is multigenerational travel where clearly the grandparents, the parents and the young child are all together.
