Italy, more is better

With Malia and her friends arrival also came a whirlwind of activity. Naturally we felt a need to show them all of Tuscany in just one week. They brought great energy with them. Every second of our time with Malia, Erika, and Jamie was bellisimo.




They had a flair for drama




And enormous energy!




It was fun to share Italy with one of our kids. But also made me miss Conor, Justin, Marlene, Christina, Laurel, Brielle, Cy, Kelly, and Eric. And my Mom! Wayne and Mike and families, you too! And all you guys at work too!




I would like to share a few pictures from that week.
Right before Malia arrived, Mike and I had a romantic day in Fierenze together, just the two of us.




The Duomo








A view of Florence from the top of the Duomo, 640 steps up!

The square "de Campo" in Sienna with Kd, Malia, Erica, and Jamie.




A beautiful Piazza where fabulous musica entertained us for quite some time.








Sienna streets




I just had to add some additional favorite views of mine
























Not sure if you can tell but I am starting to miss home and my family. But doesn't stop me from trudging forward to enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
Cinque Terre was amazing even on the third day. We went the day before Malia and friends left Italy. My favorite town was Corniglia. I will dream of it for years to come.








We are leaving for London so will share those adventures and wrap all this up tomorrow. For now, Arrivaderci!

Location:Torre del Lago, Florence, Lucca, Riomaggiore, Manolla, Corniglia
