Our last stop was an agriturismo near Cortona, Tuscany. We enjoyed a relaxing time in the pool, in the olive grove, and in the cute village of Cortona. Tuscany is lovely, quiet, tranquil, and has delicious food and…

I wish I could have stayed longer in the Dolomites. They are incredible. Also northern Italy is amazing, too, with clean, cool air, safe driving, no trash, parks and bike trails, and even a way of speaking Italian…

We visited the market of Poggioreale (called Shoe Alley) and then downtown. We really enjoyed our time there in a way we haven’t before: It was much slower and quieter downtown right now than is typical, and also…
