After spending 3 days in Tuscany, we’ll head to Bologna, the land of BIG food! We’ll try to take in a Parmesan cheese factory, a basalmic vinegar tour, and it happens to be white truffle festival time! 2 days here, then one last day in Venice.


The Adventure begins tomorrow!! 31 days of Greek and Italian touring! Journey with me for a few highlights along the way on FB (pm me if you want to connect there).

Greetings from Bari, Italy!!

This trip of a lifetime is a bit over halfway over. We’ve seen and done so many unique and amazing things so far! After spending a little time in Venice and Florence the remainder of the land portion is well under way with stops in Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Rome, Tuscany, and Bologna!

Off to a 3-day stay at an Agriturismo and some fancy Italian cooking now….

Ciao for now!!!

I'm giving up on catching up on the first eight pages and just jumping in now. Sounds like an amazing trip so far!
