Didn't know what to expect of Perugia, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It actually have a very medieval feel to it. It sits atop a mountain and I can see why it was originally located here as one gets a very beautiful view of the valley below….and any wandering mauraders! Italy is on a 4 day holiday since the Feast of the Immaculate Conception falls on Tuesday. The ...
... paysage est tres beau, comme dans toute la toscane!!
dans les attraction principale , il y avais le duomo, quelque eglies plus modestes, mais chacune avais un petit quelque chose a voir. puis il y a les ruines d'une anciene arena romaine.
From Chianti went south to the Le Crete region. The drive provided us with more quintessential Tuscan scenery. We stayed overnight in Asciano as we could not make it to Montalcino before dark. We had vowed not to drive in the dark as the small windy roads and excessively erratic Italian drivers are not good for our nerves!
Asciano, Tuscany, Italy darrenhough74... pizzeria where I had delicious lasagna. After lunch we browsed through the many stands. Sample after sample led to some major purchases. It was hard to pass up the various chocolate products when the smell just filled the air. There was everything from chocolate beer to chocolate “pills” to chocolate pasta!!
Heaven.
I’ll update you soon,

... Sangallo. The road was called the Village Synagogue (just because there was placed the Jewish temple, which still exists, although much deteriorated) and, in our times, that of Solomon Fiorentino, on the recommendation of the city administration who wanted to remember and honour so what is considered the first poet of Jewish origin appearing in the history of Italian literature (he was born in Monte San Savino in 1743).
The number of Jews present in the town vary much ...
... wanted, and it was so beautiful. It made it a little tight because Laura had already got the cab, but it worked out in the end, thankfully. The funny part was that the old cabbie was done for the day and his son drove us back down. We went on a different road and he was going so fast! We thought we were going to die...but we didn't. We waited at the train station for a bit as Caitlin, Trista and I bonded over scrapbooking (aka 'cropping'). It was a glorious day in Cortona.

Florence, Italy magellen... little blonde hair blue-eyed boy standing about 4 feet from me staring at me. I looked at him puzzled. He looked at me puzzled. I said "hello." to which he responded in near perfect English, "where are your shoes?" I was sleeping in the grass with no shoes on and probably to him looked like a bum but he was quite curious about what I was doing. I told him I was tired sleeping a little and said my shoes were in the car. He hung out for a minute and then turned and ran off around ...
Florence, Italy jtpharrI would like to begin by congratulating all those who finished lagniappe today on a good effort, and actual end to college for some of you. Now you can come to Europe and party with me. I am also saddened by the news about Randy Walker. It makes us all realize how short and precious life really is. I am definitely making the most of trip to Europe and I know the memories will last forever. You have a lot of time to think on the rails of Europe which is good for the necessary ...
Florence, Italy goalie121... vindication would appear, bearing coldly down, even further. Anyway. Florence is such a great city, if for no other reason than it is impossible, even for me, to get lost. As blindly as one might stumble, mapless, from street to identical street, sooner or later some enormous familiar landmark appears and you know exactly where you are. Monday 26 April Gee, lots of things to do today. I found an internet place and spent 35 mins there writing home. Then found a bookshop with ...
