Back from trip to Italy. Took lots of photos , I will post some soon. It's been a rough Summer with lots of Stress and Distress- so, that's why I've not been posting anything- It always seems to be one step forward.... one hundred steps backward--- sigh. At any rate, the trip was good- expensive country to visit- so, good thing I didn't plan on buying any souvenirs....yikes! $ 6.00 USD for 1.5 litre bottle of Sprite! Loved Firenze , and, Siena- Rome, was too big to really have time to explore- and my neck did not fair well from the jiggling , airplane turbulance, and , retained stress from my job- so, it took me some time to unwind-- almost made it. Tuscano is my favorite part of Italy- great villa in Corsignano- Villa Faule- stay there if you are planning a trip to that part of Italy. Quiet-peaceful , beautiful Sunsets. Lots of Castillos close by - now, back at work and back into the Stress again...darnit!  I need a massage on a weekly basis!!!!!! ARGH!
