Taking It All In
Photo by Paolo Liloc.
Finishing up our first week in Italy and feeling so very thankful for this experience.
Thankful for the wonderfully kind, creative, fun people I'm traveling with - their enthusiasm and zest has been contagious. Thankful that Jim is such a charismatic guide. Thankful that my international travel companion (and friend of 22 years) Paolo was able to come along for the ride. Thankful for the scenery, the sunsets, the history, the weather, the wine, the pasta, the laughter - it's really been a wonderful experience so far.
We've got another week of traveling to go including a day in Florence, Rome and then back to New York City at the end of the week.
I am so glad to hear you sounding happy and enjoying life! Have a WONDERFUL time!!

Che bella! I hope you will love Florence! I was fortunate enough to spend my junior year of college abroad in Florence two years ago. If you would like some good restaurant recommendations or fun, non-touristy things to check out, please let me know! Mi manca Firenze!

Sounds delightful... as I read this post, I couldn't help, but to think about the movie "Eat, Pray, Love" and how HUNGRY it made me to see all that delicious looking food. :)

From that photo it looks as though you are savoring every moment. I was lucky enough to spend 2 weeks in Italy over the summer. Florence was amazing. When you walk around a corner and see the Duomo before you it is amazing. Hope you get to see the sculpture David. One day is not enough but it will be magical.
