Left Turn
Sometimes you have to be impulsive.
My vacation is being extended by another week. The country-side is beyond words. Everything that everyone has said about Tuscany is true. Believe it all.
For those of you in love with the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun” we visited Cortona. Our timing couldn’t have been better for it rained and hailed, thus pinning us under the awnings outside the shops littering the medieval town. The only thing we could do was sit on the curbs and drink red wine.
As I type this, we’re sitting in Bari which is along the west coast of Italy. Somehow we’re going to get on a boat to take us to Dubrovnik. Half of our crew insist Croatia is beautiful and we must go. Ok!
I do have to say that while we were in Tuscany, the villa we were staying at didn’t have the advertised internet. So we drove around, with my iPhone scanning away, until we found a free hotspot. What a site we were: having four people parked in their car alongside the road of this old town of Monterchi and using our Macs.
Wow, I’m soooooo jealous.
Sounds like a wonderful time, and I hope you guys are enjoying yourselves immensely.
Have a bottle of vino for me, will ya?
P.S.
I think the main character in “The Bridges of Madison County” was from Bari. In case you were wondering..
Buon giorno,
Hello my friend….perfetta metafora. “Under the Tuscan Sun” is one of my favorites!! Who wouldn’t love to transplant to that quirky little villiage, tend the oliove grove, cook great meals while drinking Italian wines??
Take lots of pictures to share when you get back home.
And of course, we are loving the daily footage of the Le Tour de France….
Steph: it was truly a magnificent place. And the vino was great.
Vegeterian: We got tons of pictures and I kept a travel journal while we were out there. I’m going to only stick the highlights on the blog once I get them organized.
