I will attempt to recount to you five amazing adventures in one blog. Beginning with Pisa.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

Pisa, home of the infamous Leaning Tower of Pisa. There are many leaning towers all over Italy we have come to find, but few lean as much, or are as beautiful. You older generations [...]

I have to say that I am constantly amazed by the kindness shown to us here in Italy.  Last Sunday, our travel agent here in Italy, Patrizia, came over with her husband, Antonio, and 7 year old daughter, Alice (al-ee-che) to cook with us. And cook we did – from 11 in the morning until [...]
