We’ve been home for a few days now.  I’ve had the chance to get back to work, have a margarita, and spend a very lazy Saturday lounging with the animals in my bed. I’ve also downloaded all my camera pictures from our trip, and will share some of my favorites in this post.  It’s so […]

I’ve now had a couple sleeps in my own bed. I thought they would be great sleeps. I was wrong. I worked today and right now my head and body are tired. I’m sure glad tomorrow is a Friday! What a whimp. I came home with a ton of bug bites, one huge one on […]

We are home! Pooped, but home. Is there anything better? I still have a few more Italy posts up my sleeve. I hope you’ll stick with me, because I don’t know when I will get this good a subject again any time soon. Our last day in Pisa, we actually went to a shopping mall. […]

Here are a few. The photos just don’t do it justice. See ya on the flip side.

Yesterday we arrived in Pisa, walked around looked for a place that might be playing the ManU game, and with no success, booked it back to our hotel. We are finishing our stay in a nice little Boutique hotel. The room is quite large, has a/c, and those marvelous shutters that block out the world! […]

It is Sunday morning, and in a few hours we are heading to Pisa, which is the last leg of our journey. The time has flown by so quickly! I do think we booked it for the right number of days, in two days when we return home, it will be time. We went to […]

Well, it POURED yesterday. We had great plans, including the opera, but that all fell by the wayside. Instead, we did a Lucca Pub Crawl. The Lucca Pub Crawl is much different than one in America. For one thing, I have no idea what any of these folks are saying. For another, I was drinking […]

Today has been simply awesome. This town of Lucca is something else. After another salami sandwich for breakfast (most of the cafés offer pastry, sandwiches and ice cream) we hopped on our bikes and tooled around the town. Let me repeat that for you: we rode bikes around the town. We rode through the town, […]

That’s the number of steps from the ground to our front door . This picture is a bit blown out, but know our door is somewhere up there in the sunshine. Our first place we stayed? 42 Steps. I have never been so out of breath and sweaty. But, it is soooo worth it. Today, […]

Wow, what a difference a day makes! We had a great night’s sleep. The body really needs sleep, by the way. My body probably needs more than most. So, today, we started with walking around the city of Genoa. One of the first things I saw/heard, was a woman singing lovely opera and playing for […]
