Hello ducklings!
I’m finally getting around to pointing you to my favorite photos from last year’s trip to Italy. I took a lot of photos on the trip, uploaded maybe 100 of them to Flickr, and the link above is to the 22 that are the most worth checking out. Hit the whole collection if you have more time.
In retrospect, it was a great trip, but I was a little cranky when I came home. I was there for 3 weeks, and it was hot all the time… I’m a PNW boy, I like me some shade and drizzle. But I saw a ton of wonderful art and ate a lot of terrific food, so I should be slapped for whining about the heat.
The “best of” link above doesn’t put them in chronological order, but here’s an outline of the trip: 2 days in Rome, 7 days on Elba Island taking a cooking class from the urbane and gallant Federico, 6 days in Florence and 2 days in San Gimignano. If I had it to do over again I think I’d spend more time in Florence and Rome, and more time paying attention to advice from the travel books about which restaurants to go to. Yes, you can get boring food in Italy, and I ran into my share of it.
Anyway, have fun with the photos!
